It turns out I love the photograph aspect of blogging more than I thought I did: I’ve used up all 200 free slots on my flicker account. While working on another cheap option for photos, I’ve had a hard time sitting down and writing. Who knew?
I’ve also been collecting science experiment stuff for working through the Bernie Zubrowski books on clockmaking and syphons, polishing my Letter of Intent to Homeschool, (an annual editing ordeal here in Massachusetts), enjoying the family reunion in the Catskills at Huntersfield Christian Training Center, and trying to figure out how to help K get some sleep!
She has been growing a lot this month, learning new things, responding to words and signals (DH’s greetings when he comes home from work, the words nurse and hungry, though not her name consistently) she’s beginning to wave and lift her arms when she wants to be picked up. But sleeping is no longer an easy matter of a nursing, swaddling and laying her down in her Moses Basket! For one thing she wants to practice rolling over.
M has been really asking good questions lately, like what did Jesus mean when he told people they had to eat his flesh and drink his blood, in the bread of life discourse in John? He’s also been listening in when I read to B as he washes the dinner dishes, and followed the mystery in Sherlock Holmes just fine, despite the vocabulary – which got him sent to bed before the scary bit, much to his disappointment.
B is trying to get his Lego castle built in time for a deadline in a Brickmaster’s challenge.
DH is working on getting K’s crib clean and assembled, I’m to go shopping with the kids this morning to pick up a mattress and some school supplies.
Better go get that organized!
My musings on our homeschool, coop, figuring out what my educational philosophy is anyway, and will I ever make curtains for the rest of the appartment?
