Yesterday my son got an impromptu lesson from his father on how to fix a DVD player and a VCR. He got a good look at the inner workings, and was allowed to help screw bolts into place. They played the historic Samurai game again, too. Today we talked about the Vascular system. He wanted [...]

Funny as it seems, my son and husband decided to play this war game on Xbox tonight. I got curious as to whether the battle was made of real armies, since there were so many accurate names on the battlefield. It was just weird to see that most of the people on the game have [...]

So we did a “big things boogie” tonight. Ten minutes, ten large things from his room to be given away or tossed. Another 10 minutes, 10 large things to put away. He is so happy with the progress he is seeing as he daily puts away things in his room, gets rid of things that [...]

He is reinforcing his skills today on his Wiggles game for Vsmile. There are a good number of minigames that cover math, reading, following directions, music, and more.

Learning has to be fun sometimes or both of our heads would explode. His favorite was my favorite: Presenting What’s Opera [...]
Mrs. Marie, a great Bible teacher at our church, sowed into my son’s life. She gave him a dollar to put in the baby bottles at our church and a dollar for ice cream. The baby bottle program is designed to donate money to babies that would otherwise die without it. There is a whole [...]
Today he decided to do more words. I cannot stop this kid! He is loving learning on his little chalkboard easel. We did a number of words. He also remembered that some words have a long A sound because they end in E. The two words he did today for that were cake and cage. [...]

My son and I made up a bunch of Valentine’s Day cards for his library class yesterday. He did most of the tracing, cutting, gluing, and writing. They came out really nice. I am proud of how well he followed directions. He is also dedicating himself to his Jiu Jitsu classes more. He did me [...]
