Learning left and right for kids

Monday little Summer had her first haircut. She's lost her little white blonde curls, they were starting to get frizzy and knotty all the time. 
Looking very serious. She was so good, for a first haircut.

When we turned up at the hairdresser, Amelia was there alone and was still finishing foils, so I ducked across the road to Target.

Izzy needed new sneakers. Being a small, and I mean small, "Country' Target, they had sweet FA in her size at a cheapo price. Instead I bought her a pair of rubber boots, which she needed anyway.

Tuesday morning it pissed down, so she wore them to kindy. Perfick. I did invest in an umbrella for the car too! This was the first wet drop off I had encountered this year, and I wasn't prepared.

She is at the perfect age right now to start learning her right foot from left. So I have written the letter 'L' and 'R' on them.

I've written them on her hands too, and shown her how her left hand makes a letter L shape that she can match up on her boots. I can't remember who told me this trick, but it is genius. 

You can even make the backward 'C' shape of the top part of the letter R with your right hand! I've yet to teach her that the right hand makes a letter L on your her forehead, for LOSER, maybe later ;)



I did notice yesterday at gymnastics, the coach was getting them to learn left from right too. I should have let her in on this trick, it did cross my mind.
