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 [...]
This just made me laugh. I can picture my son trying the same thing. He can already do so much on my computer. Kim Komando relates how her son became a computer hacker of sorts and he is only in Kindergarten! Talk about genius My son can do pretty much anything he wants on the [...]
I was looking for a chart or list of things my son should be doing for himself at his age. I found a good one that gave me some insight into what I am allowing him to do. Right now he can prepare his own peanut butter and jelly or tuna sandwiches set and clear [...]

We made pancakes together on Saturday. It was lots of fun. He got to help me measure and stir. He was learning how to follow directions on the recipe. He knows his memory verse. He says “I know the word! I know the word! Thy word is truth!!” thats from John 17:17.
