I spent about 30 minutes doing some seatwork with Josiah today. We just focused on the letter 'A'. I really am not trying to do much "schooling" at this point. I'm just going with the flow, teaching him simple things that he is interested in. So, today I showed him how to write the big letter 'A' and then helped him write it. I had him write it about 10 times on his own. He did quite well. I also read him a Bible Story from "The Golden Bible" story book for children. I have been reading him a Bible story almost every day from that book for the last week. Before that I was reading to him from my Bible (KJV), but this has been working better, since the pictures in the children's Bible capture his attention. For "History" I have been reading the Laura Ingalls Wilder books. We are on the 6th book now (we skipped "Farmer Boy" and are going to read it last. If I would've been thinking clearly, I would have read that book first, rather than last..). Josiah, being a 3 year-old boy, likes to bounce around and literally stand on his head on the couch while I read, but he is listening and wants me to read... so I let him be a "boy" at the same time! I hold Abigail on my lap while I read, so she gets to hear/see the story as well. She requires about as much attention as a newborn baby, so it can be challanging at times to keep her happy while I devote some time to Josiah. It is times like those that make me wonder how I am going to do it after the new baby arrives in December... it will be like having twins! Anyway, just figured I'd share what my schooling consists of at this point.

God Bless~ Clarissa
