So far, so good, this week. Monday was a quiet day, we didn't have to go anywhere so we didn't. Joss dutifully did her school as quickly as she could (she had to redo a math sheet!) so she could get to her newest toy, her abacus! She adores it, uses it to make patterns, see how many "2"s are in 10 and 20. Practicing counting by 2s and 3s with it. So she is exploring some basic multiplication and division concepts and thinks of it as what she GETS to do when school is done!
Tuesday was busy, ceramics in the AM followed by a picnic and playground time, then swung through the library to drop off and pick up! I actually left the kids in the car for the five minutes it took to pick up the stuff I had requested online - I could see the minivan the whole time and otherwise we would have had to skip it, as our picnic took up our library time.
The kids looked at the books I had gotten them while we drove to Jossy's new gym n swim class. That was a blast! She started with an hour in the gym playing and learning basketball fundamentals, then went to the pool for her first ever swimming lesson!
Today we played with some good friends we hadn't seen in way too long. My friend's oldest child is in High 5 so we had to go in the AM. Now the challenge will be to get Joss to settle down to school! Oh well, it was so nice to see them!
Well, speaking of settle down to school I suppose it would help if mama got off the puter!
Bye!
