"At 9:47pm?"
Guess so :)
We completed our first week of school last week and I think Brynn and I both enjoyed it. I am using a Christian curriculum called Heart of Dakota, and not only is it teacher friendly and well laid out, but it uses quality books. Our focus is early American history, and we learned about the Spaniards going to Florida last week. This week it's the British in Jamestown. Most of this is new to me, so I'm learning too!
One of the great things about home schooling is that it doesn't have to be all in one sitting. That's been huge for us so far. Like today, we dropped Iann at speech therapy, came home to do 40 mins of school before we had to go get him. Home for a snack and then 40 more mins of school when the next therapist arrived. Then I read from the biography read aloud while we were waiting in the car later in the day. I am actually finding that this is giving Brynn time to think about what he's learning, and see how it all connects together. When Iann starts preschool in 2 weeks (gulp) then we'll do school while he's gone, but for now, this works. Once I have finished decorating our school room/guest room I'll post pictures.
When I picked Iann up from speech today his therapist said "Where are his hearing aids? I didn't get much vocalizing from him today." Opps, I'd forgotten to put them in! Then the second therapist to work with him today asks me the same thing as she was leaving. I had forgotten again!!! At least it shows that the hearing aids are really making a huge difference. Blush.
Iann has started taking a gray step stool, putting it under the swing and using it to climb onto the swing, sitting on it like a horse:
Just one more way that he is growing up and wanting to be just like Brynn.
