Dear Benjamin

Dear Benjamin,

You are adorable and I love you with all my heart but will you please stay asleep when you pass out at 8pm? It's not cool to wake up at 8:30 and stay awake until nearly midnight every night. Mama needs to get up at 5am. I know you think you are cute, rolling around on the floor saying dadadadaa and giggling at the dog as she looks at you. I'm sure it's hard during the day when you cannot be the center of attention but believe me, I can be a whole lot more entertaining when I've had a few hours of sleep and lately it's not happening. Besides no one believes me that you do all of these cute things, so do yourself a favor. Sleep at night and be adorable during the day when you have a little more of an audience.

Love always,
Mama

Shhhh......

It's 9:13 am and we've already showered, eaten, and done a reading and math lesson and calendar. All we have to do now is read the next page in our geography book, read a chapter in Alice and Wonderland, read about hyenas, write about zebras, and make a rhino, and do a science project!!!! I'll get most of that done before we leave at 10 to go to storytime and finish up while my dinner is cooking! Woo hoo!

Right now Maddie is in the school room practicing making worms, snakes, ants and grass using Ed Emberly's animal drawing book. I love that she is fine tuning her writing skills and doesn't even realize it! She thinks she's having fun and taking a break after working hard on math and reading. Today she learned "th"!

Nicholas has been happily making sculptures out of crayons and playdough the entire time. I wonder if he learned something while sitting at the table with us?

Homeschooling rocks!
