Week of 08/18-08/24
We read a LOT this week but, didn't really do anything "extra" to go along with the curriculum. :( We've been reading all over the place in our Sonlight P4/5 curriculum and I'm not really sure what "week" we are on (according to the Instructor's Guide.) I plan to use the coming week playing catch up and getting back on track.
I think we have read the Monster Truck books every day for the last 3 weeks, not kidding! He can now name all of the trucks, tell you how tall they are, and the parts of the truck! The county fair had a Monster Truck Show that we decided to take him to. It wasn't the best idea for me (being super pregnant and all) but, he was so excited. He was fascinated that HIS truck, the Bounty Hunter, was there. It was an experience, to say the least :)

Life...
**Greyson took a Sibling class over at the hospital in preparation of the arrival of his new baby sister. He learned ways to help entertain the baby, how he can help with changing the baby, swaddling the baby, hold the baby, etc. He got to tour the hospital and see where I'll be as well. It was cute!!
**This was also the last week of the free summer movies in our area. We've been able to go to a few this summer and it has been a lot of fun to enjoy these with my little man.
**A fun morning at the playground. We were pretending to go the moon and this picture was inside the spaceship (aka tunnel). I found moon rocks ("acorns") in his shorts pocket while sorting through the laundry the next day. I love his imagination :)
