We are moving right along this school year.  So far we haven’t had any long breaks, or major breakdowns! ha! :o)  Bailey is getting up every morning and starting his school and about 99% of the time, he does it without us asking.  That is a huge step for us.  We are struggling with helping Bailey remember his daily routine.  He’s doing better and his love for Time4Learning is helping.

Today, I had to be out of the house all day so Daddy got to stay home with the kids.  While I was fully expecting to come home and find the boys duct taped to wall with daddy wearing ear muffs in the corner, I was pleasantly surprised to find that everything I had asked them to do had been done.  Yay for me! :o)

Bailey not only did his school without being asked, he was able to tell me what he had done.  This may not seem like much to some, but for my Bailey, this is great improvement.  He told me that he did 2 language arts, 1 math, 1 science and 1 social studies.  I was surprised that he remembered that, and wasn’t sure that he would recollect what the lessons were about.  Again…pleasantly surprised.  He told me he did 3 digit addition today in math, told me about Alaska and Eskimos in social studies (he really enjoyed this subject the most today), and he told me he did the same thing in language arts as he did in science.  He couldn’t remember the word though.  Well, I thought that was a little strange, but when I logged in to check, sure enough he learned about inferencing in L.A. and inferences and predictions in science.  HA!

It was a good day for Bailey, and I just keep looking forward to what he’ll do and learn next. :o)
