The letter D

We spent March going over D stuff. We started with the story of Daniel in the lions Den and David and Goliath. We just happened to have a Veggie Tales video to reiterate the stories.
We talked about Darwin, our Compassions kid in El Salvador, Miss Debbie and uncle Dave. Dad and Dog also start with D as well as 2 of Bens favorites, Donald and Daisy Duck.
We had some Donatos for Dinner one night followed by a treat from Dairy Queen. Each Sunday we enjoy some Delicious Dunkin' Donuts. Ben does plenty of Dancing to maintain his figure!
Also on Sundays, Ben goes to church with Dad and helps him set up his Drums.
Ben did a Drawing on his Dry erase board. Notice that Ben wrote his own name for the first time! Ben also painted a Dog sun catcher. He picked out the colors and colored it in all on his own.
After sharing his Duplos with his brother, I showed Ben how to play Darts. We didn't keep score. That was mostly because Ben only hit the dart board once!
Ben learned the most important lesson he could learn in life--Duke is the best basketball team in the world and Kentucky is not!!! (Ok, maybe not the most important lesson, but its close)!

We looked at some places like Danville, where Dad was born and Dallas, because they have a great football team.

Ben also helped me with some things around the house like Dusting, Dishes and pulling clothes out of the Dryer. We looked at stuff around the house like the Dining room, Door, Diapers, Dictionary and Duplex, which are all around us.

We also learned another French word, Dents, which means teeth.
We are already running with letter E since we j
ust celebrated Easter. We'll let you know how this month goes.
