Challenges
It has been a long week so far and its only
Wed. I try so hard to enjoy each day but sometimes. ...sigh..
Over the weekend we were given a sofa and new recliner.
Well not brand new but new to us and it is in really great shape.
Carls Aunt bought a new house and her living room furniture was
only a year old but she wanted new for the new house. Soo
We were blessed to get a much needed sofa. Our step son
also was given a bedroom suit. When he had moved in with us
last year we got him mix match so its nice now that
he has something nice to take with him when he moves out.
Which might be in a year or two. He graduates this June!!
We got a lot of school things done this week too .
We are working on two lapbooks and math skills.
Oh its so hard when you have a dyslexic child. I feel
like I bang my head against a wall at times. Princess is in a
math 4 book . Just started it. You know how the books
tend to reveiw basic skills at the beginning. Well she was
to do basic subtraction. First time around she forgot
what regrouping was. So we reviewed that. Second time
around she reversed the subtraction. So if she regrouped
and the ones said 16 -8. She'd say 8-6 and her answer was 2.
It can be so hard sometimes. You think she has something
and then later she has forgotten again.
Superboy is stuggling alone with reading . He doesn't
like to read much at all . I keep looking for books
that he might enjoy but as this point we are doing to
much sounding out to really enjoy much.
I also have been working on a fun surprise game
for my dads big birthday party. It was moms ideas
so I won't share the neat game until after the party. I
don't want to spoil it for anyone. It is a challange to figure
out and takes awhile to do. With both mom and
I working hopefully we will be done by May 10th.
Wish us luck!!
