N is for...

We spent last week talking about the #4 and letter N.  Our Bible stories were Naaman and Noah.  Our activities included:
...Exploring the Neighborhood
Yes, even in the rain
...N made out of Noodles (Sometimes you just have to stick with the classics)
 ...Necklaces!  
So proud of my girl, picking out each letter of her name from a pile of letters to make a necklace.
 ...doing something Nice.
We made a yummy treat and delivered it to a friend in our congregation who needed some encouragement.  I got this idea from a post on Cindy Colley's blog: http://thecolleyhouse.org
I made a few adjustments to fit a specific need in our congregation, encouraging our sisters in Christ.  You make some type of yummy treat and pass it on to a member who might need encouragement along with a card.  You also explain that you would like for them to pass a treat along to someone else who might need encouragement in the future.  The general idea is that they will be encouraged twice, once by receiving a gift out of the blue and once by giving a gift to someone else. 

She also made necklaces for friends.
...Nail day.  
We painted each others' toenails and fingernails :) FUN! FUN!
Other happenings last week included:
Aylin wrote an A all by herself during Sunday's worship service :)
Hilton made it through the entire Bible class awake and happy :)
 We went to Hilton's NICU reunion.  Aylin had a blast playing all the games and Hilton was a trooper just hanging out.  He weighed in at 15.6 and they guessed his height at 2ft, the volunteer couldn't make him stretch out and stay that way to measure.  He was too long for the baby scale and not big enough to stand up on the big kid scale.
 He started holding his own bottle; Aylin NEVER did this!  I had to include the other picture because little man just smiles and laughs and talks ALL the time :) 
I LOVE MY LITTLE BLESSINGS!
