Carter's Math
My goal this school year was to "do school" with the "littles" (those who are under Kindergarten age). So far, about 3 weeks into our school year, it's going well. This picture is a graph that Carter did during math. We do math for 15 minutes a day and he gets so excited about it. It really is amazing that when I decide to do something and really start doing it, the actual effort and time is always way less than the anticipated effort and time. A lesson I'm slowly learning. Also, I've recruited Lacy's help to teach Carter his letters and sounds. She is a mommy at heart and does a good job. At first, I felt guilty about this (I'm the mom and should be teaching him these things), but soon realized, that their time together is precious. Lacy loves to feel needed and Carter is learning. And those two things are much more important than me feeling like I'm doing my "job."

I think that's AWESOME Bente. Especially that Lacy is able to tutor her little brother. I think that's why God made families, honestly. I just wish my kids LIKED to help each other. We're SO not there yet.
Missy, please don't think that all my kids like helping each other! Dexter is scheduled to teach Mason his reading lessons, and most of the time I think it is a lesson of patience and understanding of a younger sibling rather than reading! Hopefully it will be worth it in the end and both will be better off for it!!!
