What's a fAnCy giRL to DO.............

.....i need to add that at this moment this same girl is screaming, crying, and kicking my chair......all because i refused to let her use my makeup...what's a fancy girl to do

if you are not familiar with the "Fancy Nancy" books

you should be

they are an Emeline staple

we read about Nancy's puppy..her friends...the french words she loves...and more of her adventures being the only fancy one in her family DAILY (and by this i mean hourly)

so as I contemplated homeschooling i worried that my reading time with Emme might suffer

so I found a little program called audacity
this program allowed me to record my voice onto a CD

So I scooped up our Fancy Nancy collection

and begun reading them onto a MP3 file

next i created little pouches for her Cd's which will be glued to the inside of the corresponding book

and

Voila ( that's french for expressing satisfaction )

Emme can now listen to her favorite books

whilst I teach her older brothers.......

this of course doesn't take the place of my daily readings but it helps to occupy the little princess now and then

***note from the author***

This program is also great if you are having your kids work on memorization

they can read the poem, article of faith, talk, etc. into the mic and use the CD during down time to help them memorize!
