Lydia decided today that her dolls would act out the nativity. She made costumes for them, primarily out of old socks. Joseph's pants (the doll standing in the back) are one example of her ingenuity. Some of the dolls in the front have little shifts on that were also made from socks.

And, of course, pipe cleaner halo and wings on an angel. Even her toy dog was dressed as a sheep for his part. She had her dolls perform a nativity play for me and Gyunay. She did a really nice job. I love to see her use her creativity.
Also today, Gyunay has been working hard on letters and numbers. He's starting to write more, although it is still a struggle for him on each individual letter/number. We have to talk through how to form the letter, then we have to trace or do hand-over-hand so he can know the right motions. He can make several letters independently now, though, and with help he can do a fairly recognizable job on most.
And thankfully, last week my man did a lot of this:
We have been enjoying the fires in the basement fireplace. They really warm the whole house in a way the heater just does not. (And of course, since we had so many dead trees, it is free heat!)
