We continued our letter of the week curriculum this week.

And, to show you that life around here is not perfect and we have our moments (as if you thought such!), Micah got very discouraged and frustrated with his scissor activity and fell apart in seconds!  Normally, I wouldn’t put this picture on here, but Micah and I had a talk about perseverance and then had a good laugh about his “sad face”.

His favorite thing this week SHOCKED me.  I have mentioned a few times his lack of interest in coloring.  He does enjoy it more if he can use markers, but it is still not his activity of choice.  So, the fact that he LOVED this color-by-number was such a shock to me.  And, I must say, he did an awesome job!

I have all these grand plans each week to do all these creative things and spend all this time in activities, but we just aren’t getting to it.  On Tuesdays we go to the library and Fridays Daddy is off work, so we are only getting in three days of school.  That is fine, but I would love to find a way to make better use of our time and schedule things out in a way that will allow us to get in some fun stuff.  I guess as he gets more independent in his activities, we will be able to do more.  I am also thinking of adding an afternoon time to our school schedule.  We currently do school in the morning during Heidi’s nap, but if we do something in the afternoon, we may have to work around her.  :)  Meanwhile, it is as it is…

LIFE SCHOOL

The weather was so nice on Monday that Micah suggested we have a picnic.   What a smart boy he is!  We enjoyed it so much and Heidi loved trying to eat her sandwich like a big girl.
