Forgive me for not posting… I spent all of yesterday at Leigh’s, helping sort out clothes. We left 11 bins in the garage for a garage sale, 3 bins of clothes they’ll use this winter, 2 bins of clothes they’re saving, one bin’s worth were trashable, and I brought home 6 bags - the equivalent of 3 bins. That’s 20 bins we sorted! Phew. AND we did the basement toys, too.
I kept myself too busy to take pictures!
Oh, and after all this time I was finally nudged into signing up with Facebook. That took a bit of time too.
Today was quiet but brought on another big headache - they’re getting more frequent and it’s becoming a puzzle I need to solve.
JediBoy is gliding right along with his math, doing another whole lesson today (adding money - $1.89 +$3.97). It pleases him very much, because it took him a long time to have a working knowledge of his basic facts, but once that fell into place he’s realizing that he can do lots of things. He loves to add two three digit numbers but estimate them first by rounding to the hundreds and then seeing how close the exact answer is to the estimate. He asks me to make up more, and more, and more problems for him. He takes after his geeky mother. I used to do long division for fun.
BabyGirl now calls a plate of food a “meal.” Tonight’s dinner conversation went like this:
“Mama?” Yes, honey?
“Meal?” Yes, that’s your meal.
“Mama?” Yes?
“Mama meal?” Yes, this is my meal.
“Mama?” Yes?
“Bubba meal?” Yes, that is brother’s meal.
“Mama?” Yes?
“Dada meal?” Yes, that is Daddy’s meal.
Pause. Two noodles and a green bean make it into her mouth.
“Mama?” Yes?
“Meal?”
