I had a rough week with Sean and Christopher. They are showing no signs of adjusting to the time shift. This morning everyone was up at 4:45am. I have been holding them to their usual 7pm bedtime, but no one is getting enough sleep and there has been much crying, overreacting, and toddler destruction. I am ready to throw in the towel and move bedtime to 6:30 or even to 6.
Sean has moved on to subtraction. Math comes easily for him and he likes to play with numbers. This morning he crawled into bed with us and told me that 6+6=12. He went through all of the doubles from 2+2 up to 10+10. Then I asked him, "Since 3+3=6, what is 2+3?" He answered 5 without hesitation, so we then went through a bunch of doubles +/-1. I have heard of these children who actually like math, but this is my first experience with one. It should be interesting!
Christopher is starting to put words together: "Hi Mom", "Bye Dad", and "All done, apple".
In not so pleasant news, he has started making a strange grunt/growl noise when he is angry, something he has picked up from Sean, I'm sure.
James had a good week. We focused solely on Math Mammoth this week for math. He did well on his Latin quiz, and his new grammar book is getting the job done.
I am going to have to sit and go through his writing lessons with him before I turn him loose with them. It is written to the student, but 9 times out of 10, he comes back with a finished product that clearly shows that he did not read the directions. :-/ Once we go through what the lesson is actually asking and he redoes the assignment, it turns out well.
My cat has an affinity for catalogs and pieces of paper. This makes doing school work in the living room a bit difficult.
