I saw Mr. Boo walking last night...all the way across his house! Thanks to Skypes I can enjoy his antics even though he is not living as near me as I would like. He is still infactuated with his airplane we got him for his birthday. I am glad I did not wait until Christmas to give it to him...he got an extra month of enjoyment. He makes all sorts of noises now as well. Some words can even be understood! He is a very active and intelligent child...but of course, given his genetics, what else would he be? I do wish, however, that I could hold him and love on him in person more often. Oh well. At least we have Skypes and so far, my computer is working...
Baby Girl is into the "antics" as well. She is about ready to be potty-trained. She will now report when she has done a certain "duty" and yesterday, I found her sitting on the potty chair while accomplishing this. Her diaper and clothing were still on, but at least she knew where to "go". She is understanding a lot now. Time out. Waiting for her cuppy. (sometimes not too patiently, however) a little bit about being safe...and sharing...sort of.
TDH has decided that he no longer wishes to pursue playing in the school band, where he was an accomplished trumpter. He was in the District Honor Band and had his last performance last Saturday. The band did a great job! He looked so handsome in his dress clothes, although he quickly changed to jeans and tshirt as soon as he got out. Good job, TDH! We all got to enjoy, not only the concert, but treats afterwards at the new Westgate Center, next to the Cardinal's Stadium...GO CARDS!!!
Jomo has a go-cart, compliments of his dad. He took his cousins for a ride last week. Hunky, the daredevil who seems to have little fear and little safety-awareness, managed to fall out, even with a seat bar aross his lap. Fortunately, he was wearing a helmet and only got some "road burn" (on dirt) and scratches. Although I am sure it hurt badly for several days, he seemed to be satisfied with the attention it created. He is now okay. He is going out once in awhile to our church's new preschool. He is not enrolled, but is going as a companion/friend/helper for the children who are, since there are not yet many. So far, he has only gone twice, but looks forward to it. Some day, he may enrolled for a day or two. We will see. Right now, he is doing very well in his homeschool setting.
Handsome is excelling in his schooling right now. He is reading sentences more like sentences and not so much as individual words now. He still is not overly fond of reading, but finds it helpful in searching the Internet for items of interest. He is starting to attempt to spell words in the search engines on his own. He is doing well in math also, especially the hands-on things like measuring and cutting things into fractions. He has started subraction now as well. He can do three-number addition and double-digits addition also. We are working on time (clocks) and money (coins) also, which is of great interest to him.
Well, I have to decide whether or not to get ready to attend a wedding. It conflicts time-wise with TDH's soccer game, which we rarely miss. Hmmm....a wedding or a soccer game....????
