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 [...]
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 [...]
Since I am going through this attitude and cleaning transformation, I figured I would get my son involved, too. Today we played a game I called the Get Rid of It game. I told him to go find 10 things he truly, honestly did not want in his room, gave him 10 minutes, and we [...]
How do you curb the independence of a free thinking 5 year old? This child of mine decided, after SO many times of warning him NOT to go near the door when someone knocks, that he should answer the door this morning. His father and I were still dozing and didn’t hear him leave his [...]
Today we worked more on Bike safety. We learned the proper way to cross a road, hand signals, and the way to follow safely on the bike. Now the only thing we are missing for his road test is his helmet. Road test, meaning we can leave the apartment complex and cross the street. Yesterday, [...]
Easy workbook pages, hard lesson: following directions. The whole point today is for him to follow the directions as given, not to do what has not been asked of him such as, if the paper says color the triangles green, don’t color the rectangles blue. Well, at least not until after I have seen that [...]
Told Taz that right before he goes to his Jiu Jitsu class today, I had to go vote. So he says: What’s voting? What better way to tell someone than to show them? So our field trip for the day will be he and I going into our local municipality to vote for Senate and [...]
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 [...]
My son is mixed race. No one would be able to tell that he isn’t Puerto Rican in full unless they saw me. The Mexican children in our area won’t really play with him because he is mixed. If they never saw me, but saw my son with his father all the time, they wouldn’t [...]
Yesterday morning I passed on this traditional breakfast to my son. It’s cheerios, raisins, and marshmallows all together in one bowl. My mother used to make a huge bowl of this and give it to us 3 in the morning as our breakfast. It wasn’t every day, but it was great when we could have [...]
