Latin
DS and I have been learning Latin together through the Memoria Press products, Prima Latina and Christiana Latina which are both excellent!
Surprisingly, DS has taken very well to it... he LOVES his :Latin
lessons and can be frequently found bragging about them to other
children his age!
He has been known to terrify the living daylights out of them, by
getting close and reciting the Table Blessing in Latin, and he
regularly impresses people we know by doing the same...
He spots Latin words everywhere... including places you would not expect... and he is fascinated with Romulus and Remus!
Who knew Latin could be so fun!?
And FWIW, he finished his Dracula book yesterday... and is now on a vampire kick...
apparently there are vampires everywhere, they are going to bite his
sister, he has a friendly one, and if he is mad, he'll make him bite
us!!

Feb. 9, 2006 - ROFL! I love it!
Something we have enjoyed seeing in action with the boys is that they simply are not intimidated by things like Latin and advanced math - because nobody's told them it's "too hard" to learn or tackle. For them, it's like learning a secret code, and that makes them feel Very Adventurous. I love it. I just hope and pray we can keep that momentum through the years.
Had to giggle at the image of your ds getting very close and reciting the table blessing! That one trips me up every time...
