Orange.

Orange who?

Orange you glad I didn't say banana?

 Wow, today has been a fun day.  We are focusing on learning the color orange and it has been been a hit with Vera.  She picked out an all-orange outfit (picture to come) with a little help, including hair accessories.  I cut up some peaches and added them to her oatmeal which I dyed orange using food coloring--so fun!  And her milk was orange, too.  After the gym this morning we went to the grocery store and just meandered throughout pointing out orange foods.  We left with some whole grain Goldfish for an afternoon snack.  We got home and piled on the living room floor all sorts of things from throughout the house that are orange.  She really got into the treasure hunt.  We would say, "Orange thing, where are you?" and run around until we found it, then we'd throw it in the pile.

For lunch was roasted sweet potatoes, carrots with hummus, yogurt (dyed orange), cheddar cheese, and papaya.

This afternoon the plan is to pull out all the art supplies that are orange to color and decorate an old shoe box.  I fished out the scrapbook paper, finger paint, chalk, markers, colored pencils, crayons, stickers, glitter, and yarn.
