Elizabeth loves unicorns she has 6 of them that she sleeps with everynight. 1 big pillow pet 2 smaller pillow pets 1 clip on pillow pet (all of these are the exact same but size, also the clip on one goes everywhere with her) and 2 other random unicorns. This past week while driving in the car Elizabeth asked how horses laid eggs. I tried my best to explain that horses do not lay eggs and that the baby horses were born from their mamas. She then asked about unicorns laying eggs. I replyed "If unicorns were real then they would not lay eggs and have babies just like horses." Elizabeth got this really sad look on her face and was very quite and then started crying. I asked what was wrong and she told me that she didn't know that unicorns were not real. That's me the dream killer... :(
Elizabeth has sight words that she has to work on and memorize so that she can read easier. We often work on them in the car while we are driving to change cars with Keith at Perry. I will spell the word to her and she will write it down and then tell me what the word says. When she will repeatedly tell me the wrong word for what is on her paper I will tell her the word and then have her use it in a sentance trying to help her memorize it better. sample sentance using the word where "Where is the tree? question mark" Whenever she gives me a sample sentance she will tell me quesiton mark... period after she has completed the sentance. I love it!
