On book ordering.

I should really have done it sooner!

I bought a lot of my books on Ebay at a great discount. But a few got away from me and I won’t have our history text until September 10 (or so Amazon says) and I am still waiting for our Saxon math workbook to arrive. (UPS tracking says it will be here tomorrow.)

So today was simple: reviewing the short vowel sounds and a little handwriting.  Then we read about classification of the natural world and moved onto to our worm unit. We read the page in Usborne, and then a couple of books. Tonight we are going on out with flashlights to hunt down some worms for our “farm.”

[Don't worry, no worms will be harmed in the making of this project. After a few days, they will go a good home, otherwise known as our compost pile.]

A begged to do some yoga, so we filled in nap time with exercise, 2 picture books, and a few quick computer games.

I am really pleased that Em, at the ripe old age of 3, is interested in everything that we do and is easy to satisfy.

Now El? Not so much. And her new trick is climbing up onto the entertainments center. At 15 months! We’ve always called her “the little monkey” but she is taking things to a whole new level. And I don’t like it!
