Ending 2024 with Thanksgiving to God
Posted Dec. 30, 2024
We made this Graham cracker nativity set for our bonding time. Stella read the instructions for the activity and learned to follow Mommy's instructions. Thank you, Lord Jesus, for year 2024.
Seventeen (17) steps of the original Gingerbread Nativity Set were simplified into three (3) steps:
Icing. Sieve the icing sugar into the bowl and pour an egg white and mix well. Scrape it into the piping bag.
Nativity scene. Set up the Graham crackers and sweets and make it stable (no pun intended).
God is good! Eat and enjoy.

O is for Obedience
Posted Feb. 05, 2024
We printed another booklet to encourage reading and coloring activity. This time the focus is Ephesians 6:1-3, ``Children, obey your parents in the Lord, for this is right. Honor your father and mother (which is the first commandment with a promise), so that it may go well with you, and that you may live long on the earth."
Memorize Psalm 119 Verses

I prepared a memory verse (Psalm 119) coloring booklet for Stella. I used clip arts that are free online. She colored the drawings.
The video below shows Day 3 of reading Psalm 119 verses. Stella likes reading with us.
Reading a Birthday Book
Posted on Jan. 21, 2024
Stella is reading a birthday book with Mommy before going to sleep. She describes the elephant - wearing a hat and bunting, and carrying a cake using its trunk.

Over the past months, part of the routine to put Stella to sleep has been to read Maths with Mummy by V. Zhitomirsky and L. Shevrin through Kindle. So, she saw the pages in black and white. Imagine her delight when she saw the colored print outs of the pages showing Petya, his little sister Olya, and Lyapa the Donkey. The book was originally printed in the USSR in 1987 and scanned copies are now available thanks to Mir Publishers Moscow.
The book is intended for use at home with children of five and six. Thus, for now Stella learns the basic information like numbers 1 to 10 and simple 1+1=2 and 2-2=0 while she is entertained with stories of Lyapa the Donkey and the children, Petya and Olya.
There are a lot to look forward to in the book for future use.
Petya: "But why is number four next to number two?"
Daddy: ``You can see for yourself. If all the houses on one side of the street were numbered one after the other, there wouldn't be any numbers left for the houses on the other side. So people decided to give the houses on one side numbers like one and three and the ones on the other side numbers like two and four. And so on."

We are learning how to teach Stella to read.
We practice saying CVC words such as hat, ham, fix, fit, and fin.
After practicing these words, God led me to pray with Stella. Lord, thank You for FIXing our broken hearts and healing our bodies. Thank you because only Jesus FITS in our hearts. Thank you for creating everything like the fish with FINS. Amen.
