We had a breakthrough.... until I left the room!

Thank you to my awesome homeschooling friends that suggested we used shaving cream to teach Tad to write his letters.

He LOVED it! He wrote those letters like a champ!

Then... I left the room for a minute!!! Big mistake :o)

And this is what I found when I came back. A little boy that looks like a Q-tip :o)

Lessons for the day:

1. Don't freak out that he doesn't write perfectly yet...

2. Don't leave the room when you give him something a little more creative (and messy) to practice with.

Some highlights from the day! (get it, hi-lites!!!)

Rebecca is such a beautiful blonde!!!

Mom's new 'do!!! Love it!!!

Mom was held at gun point by Tad to take him & Sophie to her house for a sleep-over :o) Does anyone else hear the angels shouting HALLELUJAH!!!! I get a night to myself. I don't know what to do first... Nap?!? Paint my nails?!? Nap?!? I think I might sneak away and go see a movie tonight. We'll see!!!!!

Handwriting will be the death of me!

We started the day at the library for story time! It was fun!!! The lady was dressed in a huge yellow banana costume and the kids loved her! (Can't you just see the excitment on their little faces! Just kidding, we were still waiting for it to start.) We go on Wednesday mornings at 10:30 if anyone would like to join us. You also get a craft to take home!

Todays theme was "Eating Healthy!"

I'm hoping my hiney learned a thing or two...

Then it was time to start school!

Help me Jesus!!! Handwriting is going to be the death of me... I know he's doing great, but honestly, I'm hoping he becomes a doctor so it won't matter :o) This took forever, and I'm not sure who cried more ~ me... or him...

week 1 of homeschooling

I can't believe Tad is almost 5 and we just finished our first week of kingergarten. That's what I love about homeschooling though! We can do kindergarten instead of pre-k and he doesn't have to be held back because of his late birthday. My main goal for the next few months is to get that boy reading!!! We're going to be making these folders each week of the things Tad is learning so stay tuned for next week ~ it's the letter "B"! Are you biting your nails with anxiety yet???

Welcome!

Welcome to my blog! I'm excited you're here. I'm looking forward to sharing my cre8tivity with you :o)
