Today was another 'laid back on purpose' day. I have really been thinking alot about how my time is being spent with the kids and purposing to make memories more than grades, so not having had time to plan for this week has really been a blessing for us. So what did we get up to today? This morning while Niyi was at the gym with Daddy we worked together and cleaned up the house. Once that was done we got on with math, handwriting, reading (Tayo) and writing (Lola). Being able to focus without our darling Niyi interrupting every two seconds is a great help and on the days he is at the gym I am able to get a a lot more done in a short period of time.
Tayo worked on a new Bob book today and although she got pretty frustrated with it at times we persevered and she was prod of herself when she finished it. Lola herself got pretty frustrated with her very small writing assignment, so we will really have to work more on this in the future. We did learn rules for not starting sentences with but or because and she used her spelling dictionary well. Once Niyi returned it was free time until lunch and they all ran off their energy downstairs (the basement has been such a blessing!) Later in the afternoon the girls and I made fudge (measuring, timing and of course licking the spoon!), played Monopoly (lots of addition and money practice done here) and with their Barbies and other toys for a long time - we laughed so hard Lola "...nearly puked!" (her words not mine!) so I think some memories were well and truly made!
