We received the report from the psychologist yesterday that Bun has a specific learning disability in mathematics calculation. In a way it is a relief that we know. I was getting really frustrated with her looking at me as if I was from outer space when we go back over a concept that I thought she learned a few days ago. Now we will learn how to deal with it and learn with it as I want her to surmount this and not use it as a crutch.
We hit two great museums lately. The Academy of Natural Science in Philadelphia. Buns favorite museum of all time. The dinosaur fossils are amazing and they have a live butterfly exhibit that you walk into and the butterflies land on you occaisional and no I didn't remember my camera!!! However we will be going back in a few weeks.
The other museum was the North Museum in Lansdale. A small but really great place. They have a planetarium although we didn't see the show as my sisterinlaw was argueing with her children and ended the trip before the show time. (I learned that Bun and I go to museums alone or take my other nephew with us--we leave this family out). There is also a huge bird exhibit, a mineral and rock exhibit, and large cases with tons of beetles, bugs, crabs, etc it is great to study these things.
We are planning a trip to the DaVinci Science Center soon. That is in Allentown, so it is a day trip for us. I was surprised to learn that most of these museums have summer day camps for the kids. I would love to enroll her in the Academy of Natural Science daycamp. If I can find an inexpensive place to stay for a week down near Philadelphia I want to enroll her. I wish I coudl attend these camps they look fun!!
