Today is…Tuesday May 24 2011
We started the morning with a game of “sock-er”:
Which involved a lot of hooting and running and throwing of socks.
Then the boys brought up a bunch of books to read. One in particular seemed quite fitting for the day:
Then, while mommy mopped and cleaned up water in the basement (torrential rains seem to bring on a small stream in our basement), the boys read books and played upstairs all morning:
When I came back upstairs and found a quiet moment, I read scriptures and shared a Gospel message about the nature of the Godhead. Giant seemed quite interested in the knowledge that Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ have bodies of flesh and blood, but the Holy Ghost does not:
Then we read stories together. Giant read half a Bob the Builder easy reader to me…he is getting quicker at recognizing some small sight words and word family sounds:
After the little boys were napping, I was severely tempted to offer him a movie to watch or computer games to play. However, just before I did he asked to play with “the knights and castle people”. This is a special playmobile set, made of tiny toys for the already tiny playmobile children.
I only let Giant play with it when the little boys are sleeping:
…so tiny!
He played with playmobile for the rest of the afternoon.
Have I mentioned he’s a boy after my own heart? (Playmobile was my favourite toy growing up)
Toys like this are considered worthwhile homeschooling materials, right?—I may just start budgeting for it now 😉
