Boasting (2nd try)

I have been teaching Claire to read using Teach your child to Read in 100 Easy Lessons and am so excited about how well it has been working. I do bribe her. No Diego unless we practice. Call me crazy, making my 3 1/2 year read, but it's my inner childhood anxieties coming out I think- being that I was held back in the 1st grade for not reading well enough or at all (not sure).....or perhaps not caring/paying attention.....I myself do not remember. ;)



The letters lose their symbols and they all become the same size lettering as the lessons progress.

Bring on the Snow!

Friday morning I woke up to see Lyndon trying to push start his car by himself as he tried to get to work. I showed up on the scene in my green bathrobe and red rain boots to help him push it. Once in the right position, I got in our other car and drove/pushed Lyndon in his car to get it going. Worked lovely. I hope my robe didn't fall open while pushing. It may have slipped a little.My neighbors love me.  We had to get the snow shoveled off our roof. It was awesome. Lyndon hates the snow oddly-he is inside everyday. We love it-we being the girls and it being the snow, not the 30 something below zero weather that comes though.
