Letter "O"

Our Letter "O" recipe was a Savory Owl Snack. To see the recipe, click HERE

Completely on her own she made an "O" with Sawyer's trains and said, "Look Mommy I made an O"! I'm so proud of her creativity! She is always amazing me!
Olivia loves the "Olivia the Pig" series. We have had a really good time reading these books by Ian Falconer:
