We've been out of it the past month, N and I.  Well, the whole family actually.  Chest cold going around and around.

We've been doing a tad bit of learning.  I feel like we are behind in our learning.  You know, you have these workbooks that you have to finish.  And even though I am changing our curriculum, I spent tons of money on curriculum, that I feel we need to finish the workbooks.

I read Genesis Chapter 7 to him for Bible study.  We did our Language Arts.

This morning he saw a blue jay in our yard, so for nature study, I had him draw a picture of a blue jay. 

For math today I was going to give N a page from the Grade 2 Saxon workbook.  But before I could even find where the book was, N made a suggestion to me for his math.   He made plus signs on a piece of paper. ++; +++, ++++, +++++.  I had to think about what he was communicating to me. "Mommy, I want to do this kind of math."  Kind of flabergasted, I replied,  "Oh, you mean like 3+5+5." "Yeah."  I have no idea where he got the idea.  So he and I proceeded to look for a math generator free, on the internet, that could make that kind of math for him.  Couldn't find one.  So I just made up simple little math sheet for him.

Then later in the day History was my reading a book about Frederick Douglass to him.  Before I started to read, he wanted to see what the book was.  And was kind of disappointed.  "I wanted York."  So I told him that I would find some books on York for him, which I did at abebooks.com.
