Days progress
Sinéad had her FIRST ACTIVITY DAY last night! Ok, for you non LDS you won't see what the excitement is about, but in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, when girls turn 8 they are able to attend a twice monthly activity at the Church called Activity Days. They do different activities to help them learn the Articles of Faith and work on their Faith in God (information on that programme can be found
here.)
It's a lot of fun and lots of learning and my baby is growing up. All my babies are. Regan can't wait to be a cub. He thinks now Sinéad has started Activity Days he should be going, He COULD be going to Beavers, but we are in enough already. Time enough for the scouting programme in a couple of years.
Aisling is into everything even MORE. Didn't know that was possible.
We are having a pretty good week. Regan is reading! He is finished his second story in his reader and is writing his numbers much more neatly and right way around (well, most of the time, anyway). Sinéad finished reading The Magician's Nephew and will move onto The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe. She loves them. I knew she would. She didn't believe me. Currently I am reading Kim for the third time (though it has been a number of years).
Ok, baby is taking apart the lower homeschool shelf, argh.

Great Blog! I am planning to homeschool my children. They are only 9 months and due in July. But never too early to teach!

Thanks! That's great :) Homeschooling is so much fun and you can learn so much. No, you are right, it is never too early to start. Congratulations on your baby coming, too!
