Our poor little Renee is still not feeling good, and combined with the cold rain outside, it was a good day to stay at home and actually do some home schooling. The ornery little wretch pictured below has been poring over his math all day, in between harassing the dog, harassing his sisters, and giving his mother attitude. Note the 'State Capitols 500 Piece Jigsaw Puzzle' spread out underneath the paper he is working on- that's multi-tasking at its finest. Joe typically takes a long time to do just about everything. Just getting his name on his paper can take up to an hour; there are just so many interesting distractions, it seems. This table is the third spot in the house he has been sent to work today in an effort to maximize his productivity.
Elena has been learning how to read, as well as learning things like her full name, address, birthday, days of the week, etc. These are all things we have practiced before, but I almost laughed out loud during today's lesson. When I asked if she knew her address where she lived, she very earnestly replied "Right here." We practiced a few more questions that she answered correctly; when I asked her when her birthday was, she said, "Next summer." While technically correct, that was not the answer I was going for. Guess you had to be here, it was much funnier in person! And as you can see, her do-it-yourself home haircut is finally starting to grow back.
