We have another coder in the family! We introduced Nicole to scratch yesterday afternoon and she's spent nearly every waking minute since then building games.

Nicole made some presents for underneath the tree.

I'm reading Dana a story. There's a mirrored page so when she's sitting in my lap I can see her and she can see me.
Me: What do you see Dana?
Dana: Grandma!

So later I'm relating this story to Nicole.

Me: I don't look like Grandma yet.
Nicole: ...
Me: ....
Nicole: Well the hair is a little different.

Overheard from the other room: Wait. He's his FATHER?!?!
Guess what movie we got to watch for the first time ever.

Dana has been very concerned that the daddy deer is no where to be found. Every time we see the mama or her babies she asks "Where dada deer go?"
Nicole told her "Sometimes deer don't get married."

Nicole, who has thus far only used electronics for her remote learning assignments from school during our shelter in place, just asked me if I was aware that too much screen time was bad for her.

Last week Nicole had her dental checkup. She used her free choice time before school to write the dentist a thank you note for keeping her teeth strong and healthy (her idea) and gave it to the dentist at her checkup. Her dentist mailed us a thank you for the thank you note and Nicole was so happy to receive it she now wants to write a thank you for the thank you for the thank you note!

One of Nicole’s summer goals was to read all 10 Owl Diaries by herself. She just finished the 10th one tonight!

Me: Remember guys, we need good behavior tonight.
Nicole: I know, I learned my lesson yesterday.
Alexis: I didn’t!

Nicole: I need more time for your Mother’s Day present. Please don’t wake up early on Sunday.
You got it, dude 👍
