I'm really so uncreative that I cannot come up with blog titles, so I am sticking with dates for now.
Today was a hard day for Landen, he is going through a no more naps phase? or transition. It's hard on him, he is soooo tired. Tired 3 year old equals cranky and naughty 3 year old. We were really looking forward to the park this afternoon and I had to take that away from him. I had to prove a point to this naughty boy. It was sad, he was so sad, I was sad, what mom doesn't want to give her child everything he wants?
I did enjoy the afternoon though, I focused on the boys, put aside chores, studies, anything else that needed to be done, and we just played, read books, and talked. Life gets so busy, that it goes by, without much time for moments like those.
I'm thinking he needs some good structure. We do things everyday, usually going to a park, reading books, doing calendars, doing a craft, but when things get busy, somethings go missing, and I think he really just needs to use his brain, and learn, and grow. So, that is my goal for the rest of the week, lots of structure and hope that will make a difference.
When it comes to his learning/reading I am not sure where to go next. He knows the letters and letter sounds, and wants to learn more, starts to sound out words, really has been for almost a year, but we are kinda stuck there. As much as he wants to learn, and asks, its hard to get him to focus. He is such a boy, always wants to play play play. :)
Looking forward to the rest of the week. Tomorrow is Wednesday, perhaps service? I should go get my bag ready now. Night!

If you make it fun and a game he might like figuring out how to sound out words and be able to concentrate longer. Getting his whole body involved often helps, too!
Check out Progressive Phonics (www.progressivephonics.com) It's a really cool phonics program that is FREE. Emma and I just started it. She is really enjoying the lessons and she is LEARNING so quickly. We are only two days in and she went from barely knowing any letters to recognizing and knowing the sounds of three letters and sounding out several words with those letters!
