I don’t have a huge todo list for this weekend. I had a few things I wanted to make sure to get done and I finished the most time consuming one. Or at least the one I was most worried about. I can now relax and read the rest of the weekend. We started the morning with a bunch of reading exercises. We’re on lesson 76 and it’s amazing the amount and kind of progress he’s made. He really can pretty much read at this point. It’s stunning.
In the middle of the day, David decided he wanted to stop playing Wii and play soccer outside. Of course it only took Nathaniel seconds to join him. So I took the chance to grab my camera and snap photos.
Nathaniel took a while to get the hang of it but he enjoyed himself the whole time.
We kept cheering him to take the ball to David. Go, Nathaniel go. To David.
He totally got it.
But then David would throw it back out and he’d get so upset.
And then there were two balls and he got even more confused. He sat down and thought for a long time, and then picked them both up at the same time. Cutie pie that he is! I snapped my closeup of course.
Jake went to get us some light lunch and we all ate together. Then he played Wii with David while I worked on my minibook. Nathaniel walked around and made a huge mess and gave his dad regular hugs. Dinner, bath, hugs, milk and it was bedtime for the little ones. I finished my mini and after this I plan to spent some hubby time and then bed with my book. I’m only on page 103 of a 975 page book. Long long long time to go. My goal was to finish it this weekend but I am thinking it’s not likely.
All in all, wonderful day.
Three Things I’m Grateful For:
1. I am grateful that the kids love the soccer post and have been playing so much.
2. I am grateful that I finished my mini and I love it. I love doing these artsy minis.
3. I am grateful for some cuddle time coming up with my amazing, awesome husband. I am so in love with him.
Three Things David’s Grateful For:

Hi there – Happy weekend – would you be willing to remind me what book you are using that is working so well with the reading with your son? I did go back and look through the archives (which was great for my creating mojo) but I wasn’t able to locate the name. Thanks so much – karin
yes! it’s called Teach Your Child to Read in 100 Easy Lessons. it’s awesome!
