18 days

We've had 18 days of school at our home. I've witnessed some interesting things about the kids already. Some things I already knew about them, others are new to me.

Lake is very diligent in his work. He's a perfectionist when he isn't tired. If he's tired, the best thing to do is convince him to walk away from the work or project for a bit.

Tate is a sponge. He absorbs everything I say. When I quiz them on their history or science lessons he knows every answer, every time. It's quite amazing.

Rosie is easily overwhelmed. If I spring something new on her, she has a meltdown. Literally. If I gradually lead her bit by bit she's quite fine. For example: yesterday I gave her a math assignment and by the time she finished it, it was soaked with tears. Last night I let her look at today's assignment and we had no problems today. Very interesting.

Daisy is eager to learn. We've started on a list of 1st grade sight words and she is quickly learning them. She often giggles while we go through the flash cards I made. She can't believe that she can read them. It's really precious to watch her.

So, that's it in a nutshell. I haven't pulled much of my hair out yet and the kids are still eager for our class day to start each morning. I can't ask for much more, can I?
