...the important thing to realize here is that HE is reading ME
Are You My Mother, not the other way around. Complete with proper inflection and timing.
...we are just beginning to play actual games, wherein one follows directions and takes turns. Funny aside: When we were done playing I said, "Look at that long train of dominoes!" and tonka immediately ran to get his train for the track. Ever the literalist.
...About once a week I run the dishwasher and tonka's job is to sort the clean silverware. He does a pretty good job, and is NOT happy if I try to do it myself behind his back.
...This was supposed to be a lid matching activity, but after matching all of the lids to their respective containers, tonka decided it should become a pouring activity. Next time I'll add water and get out the little ceramic pitcher.
... P is for Patrick. First time I've ever asked him to trace a letter, and I am quite impressed. He decided to use every color marker--blue first and brown last--and his attention span was exactly 8 markers long.

So you covered reading, writing, math, and science today, not to mention basic game play (patience, planning/anticipating, understanding rules). Not to mention job skills! Poor little tyke must be tuckered out. I sure hope lunch, recess, snack time, gym, and a bus ride (his uncle Pat's fave) were part of the day.
I could tell just what the rest of your face looked like and what you were thinking on that first reading photo :)
AW! Yay!!! Looks like he's doing great! :) Lunch and recess, snacks and naptime are ALWAYS included in (home)school... at least for mommy's sake... Not so sure about that bus ride. Hoping he'll be up for reading to Aunts and Grannys when he gets home. :)
oh...this was not all on one day, trust me. and yes, the bus ride is one of lp's favorite things to do as well, probably because of the "busy bag" that we pack before heading to the bus stop.
and naptime will NEVER disappear from our daily schedule. Almost as important as outside time.
must go. I'm being summoned to read "Bible stories" while explaining the penguin show that's on tv. And here I thought I was starting dinner.
that's awesome stuff E!!
