Firstborn and Sunshine: working on spelling with dad, who has begun to make review time part of a one-on-one “spelling walk”. They get time alone with him, don’t have to do a written spelling test, and everyone is happy. That was yesterday; today Firstborn chopped and split wood while Sunshine cleaned the kitchen and bathroom (without being asked, whooo hoo!) and kept up with Phat Baby. Right now dad is reading a Sherlock Holmes mystery to them and later the plan is to watch a movie. The rain has finally stopped though so we might end up back outside yet….
W: still working on blends and 3 letter words. He’s making great progress on subtraction problems and working hard to form letters that aren’t so shaky looking. Poor guy…that’s coming hard for him. Today he stacked kindling and helped clear brush.
Phat Baby: likes to play with W’s train set. He’s been trying to drink out of cups that don’t have sipper tops on them. Still not really talking though he is trying so hard to say “shoes”. Sounds like “Schzzzz”. It’s a means to an end….this boy is all about getting to outside and he knows shoes are how he gets there! Thursday he dribbled a soccer ball all the way across the field. Maybe his fascination with “Egg ball” is an indication of his future….
