Hmmmmm... can I remember what we did yesterday?
Started off as usual. Read a chapter from Our Island Story and a short story from the Friend. Listened to more of the French stuff (Power Glide). D seemed a little more interested. Again, I sat down to do it myself and he came to do it with me. He has quite a bit of difficulty pronouncing some of the sounds -- especially the R. It must be discouraging for him.
That was about all we did. We started late. I am trying to read through the ancient history book I have, but it is slow going. Oh that's right, M was crazy today, always getting into everything, fussing, yada yada yada. Then N said he would likely bring someone home after Scouts to help take out our old washer and dryer. He ended up calling a friend at about 9:30... I had moved anything that might be in the way already, but then I ran around cleaning up too. All of the kids were still bright eyed and bushy tailed when this friend showed up. Sigh. He and his wife are having their first baby in the spring. I hope we don't look like awful parents. He really enjoys talking with the boys, though, so I think it was fun for everyone. |
