Daddy and Peter reading

Peter is doing great with his phonics, though he hasn’t had that reading “aha!” moment yet. He can sound out most of the words in the Cat in the Hat, but prefers to snuggle up and let Daddy do the reading work.

Make your own shoelaces!

Don’t waste another moment decrying the sad state of shoelaces these days, grab some dpn’s and DO something about it. I had a lot of fun with this project, and it is appropriate for new knitters.
