Both kids enjoyed plagroup today. Ruan has been properly crawling for
three days now. It's adorable watching her crawl as her arm movements
are so jerky, and she gets this ever so adorable look of determination
on her face when she sees something she wants. At playgroup she found a
piano xylophone and was balancing on three limbs while hammering keys
with one hand, and being amazed by the sounds she was making.
Cuteness factor much.
Tao
had fun playing with the other kids and hopefully learned a bit more
about turn taking. At least he was too distracted to be taking things
off his sister. He's a protective little guy, no one but him is allowed
to take things off Ruan and he was also protective of Cody's stuff, he
saw one of the other kids riding Cody's bike and yelled "Dat's Tody's
bike!"
Also cute.
But I'm heavily biased.
I got two
homeschooling books on order from the library today, "Homeschooling: A
Parent's Guide to Teaching Children" by Samuel L Blumenfield and "The
Homeschooling Book of Answers" by Linda Dobson. They're geared more
towards American audiences so there's a bit of fearmongering going on
(although it wouldn't surprise me if it wasn't too far from the truth).
And right now (while reading of course) I need to finish this wallpaper.
