I love Fridays. On Fridays Jill takes Josie and picks Josie up for preschool. The boys don't have preschool, so we've been making them PJ days. Not having to get two kids ready plus myself, Friday mornings run pretty smooth. We had some extra time this morning before Josie needed to go. We decided to practice handwriting. Below are Josie's alphabet, numbers, and self portrait done today.
It's hard to believe that Josie is already 4 1/2. Every day I am impressed with my Josie girl. She is always there to help me when I'm juggling two boys on my hips. When the boys first wake up they just want to be held. So whether it is grabbing a kleenex or more books for us to read, Josie is my helper. They seem like little things, but to this mama it's not just the task at hand, it's her attitude about it. Everything I ask her to do is greeted with a "Ok Mom! No problem mom! I can do it mom!" I'm sure during the teenage years I won't be greeted the same way....
This afternoon I needed to change Will's diaper. We were already behind schedule for nap, so I gave Josie a book for the boys nap time story and asked her to start reading while I helped Will. While it was mostly from memory versus reading, she was so excited to be my big helper. Afterwards she asked if she can read brother's bed time story tonight too.
Josie' reading to her brothers this afternoon. 
Josie's alphabet!
The 5 is backwards, but pretty good!
Josie's self portrait. I like her tiny little nose and belly button the best. She told me she is wearing earrings in her drawing :)
