Well here we are almost into the middle of October. The air is cooler, leaves are falling off the trees (oh so beautiful reds, browns, yellows and oranges) and we are well into our school year. Sinéad has a Science workshop today through our schoolboard and Regan and I are going to spend some time reading. He is learning to read because he is sort of interested, but it's slow going. That's ok. He's only 5. Even if it is a year or two that's perfectly fine. I am reading (slowly slowly) Pilgrim's Progress. It is not an easy book to read.

I am a bit apprehensive about how to teach Regan as time goes on. He's a boy. Sinéad has been so easy to teach, and Regan so far isn't proving difficult, but I know it's a different story with boys sometimes and he is way more hands on. Sinéad is like me, give her a good book and she is in heaven. Regan likes being read to, but he likes to DO things. So figuring out how to truly help him enjoy, I will always be looking for ideas.
