I killed my camera, which is only 6 months old. I knelt on it while tying shoes and did some damage to my shin. But more expensive damage to the camera. So sad. But some funny things...
Andrew reads too much. And he has a really large vocabulary for a 7 year old. He reugulary uses words like accomodate and coincidence. Yesterday we had the missionaries over for dinner and he asked, "mom, will the missionaries be arriving by car or by foot?" And he asks so seriously. He likes to say "by and by." The kid is smart. We are doing Saxon 5/4 for math and he is breezing through it. I taught him how to use a compass today and how to measure the radius and diameter. He loves math. We are using two different methods for history, one of which invovles reading a chapter, writing a narration, and answering questions in a test format. He remembers more than I do. And he is getting very good at his narrations. He can fill a whole page. He has perfect spelling. We are working on the punctuation. He loves using commas. I love teaching Andrew. It is stressful and busy and I worry about not giving him what a school environment can but I love having him home with me. And he likes it too. He wants to do it again next year, but I am sending him to school. I'm sure I will cry.
