This past month has been exciting for little man. He’s learning sight words at school and has really picked up on them. It makes me a little sad but SO proud to see how quickly he is picking them up. He’s reading fairly well too considering he just turned 5 (can you tell I’m a […]
It’s been a while since little man checked in and we got our first review book in the mail this past week so I thought it was a great time. Last week was Spring Break here in East TN. We checked out a small private school back home for him to attend (crossing all our […]
November has been a super busy month for little man and me. At the end of October, his preschool sent home a Scholastic Book Club order form. I let my son circle the books he wanted and told him that maybe Santa would bring him a few for Christmas. The kid circled almost $200 worth […]
Little man has been doing so much since the last time we checked in. School is in full swing and he absolutely loves it. He had his first ever field trip last week to a local farm and pumpkin patch. We picked pumpkins, gourds, and popcorn. I honestly didn’t know that you could pick popcorn, […]

Pig and Small by Alex Latimer is a fun, illustrated tale about an unlikely friendship between a pig and small bug (from the pictures I believe it’s an ant, though it never says).
