Nov. 29, 2007 - oh me oh my
It’s Nov. 29th already where oh where does the time go? Some days I feel like I’m in some sort of time warp and we don’t move anywhere. Then now today I look and it’s the end of Nov. I said that already didn’t I? Well our homeschooling is slow going we continue to g over the ABC’s Paul Ryan is putting words together, spelling out small 3 letter words. He still doesn’t seem to want to try to write, in the sense to practice so we know what letter he’s writing. He scribbles lines to his dad in a form of a “letter”. Yesterday afternoon I typed out what Paul Ryan was pretending to write to his Dad and this is what I got:
Dear Daddy,
I want to send you this letter, I want you to get me some presents and Rylie and Andrew and Mama and you Dad. Well I want to send you this letter on Christmas and I want some pets, Rylie have a kitty. Dad has a rabbit. Mom wants a mouse Andrew wants a moose and reindeer. I need more trains and coloring books and more books and more computers and more book and more books. Well I need some more books. ya Daddy. I want to send you this letter ya Thomas is pulling zoo cars. You know 2 4 5 and 1 is. It is windy and snow. Good house. I have toys. That lady said we have a big Family.
By Paul Ryan
Rylie is playing with her Noah's Ark and Thomas and Friends trains I'm writing and Andrew is asleep. Mama is typing. and we want to eat nuts. I love and miss you on today. (kiss)
I thought he was doing pretty well since he wasn’t only asking for gifts for himself he was also asking for the whole family. The reason he was asking was because Daddy told him he had to work his 2nd job so he could buy him presents. So the 1st thing the kids asked yesterday morning was what Daddy was going to get them.
Not sure why he thinks we all want animals maybe he and Sis do but Mommy and Andrew do not! Especially a mouse and moose.
Anyway he’s getting pretty good at knowing how to spell his name and he is also learning my phone number, he knows there are 2 ones and the last four are 7205. I have him add in the 1st 1 because you can’t call anyone without putting that on there anyway. I’ve had only a cell phone for so long now I don’t remember if you have to add the area code everywhere except the town you live in or what. We still have our Cali cells so we are really messed up, phone wise that is. But he’s getting it.
I’ve also been getting stuff around for Christmas lap book and activities to do throughout the month. I want them to know there is more to Christmas then just GETTING gifts. I think we are going to do the 3 gift limit this year. I have 2 for each of the older kiddos, and I think their 3rd gift will be P.J.’s. I just don’t know what to get the baby.

.....for visiting my blog and for leaving such a nice comment. I hope that you will visit again. I'll add you to my friends list so we can keep in touch.
As for Abeka, it's usually very advanced. Are you using the Pre-K curriculum or the Kindergarten? I started my daughter (who's now 7) on the K curriculum when she was just 4.
