Lets Talk Happy.

I know, I know. Things have been all doom and gloom over here.

They are.

I'm going to try to talk about a happy post. So I think I'll talk about a project I've started with my Big- Teaching him his letters.

When you're a parent you feel a lot of pressure for your kids to be doing awesome. Some days James wow's me with his retention. Other days, he wow's me with his sass.. and on occasion I worry that he is not smart enough for the world.

So, one day I was pinteresting about another project and I cam across homeschooling. Now I was homeschooling myself and it was a very poor experience. However it got me thinking that maybe that would be a good distraction for me to try and lay some foundations for him to learn his letters. We have flash cards for it. So why the hell not.

Man he has taken to it like a fish to water. He really loves the one on one attention that contains so much extra praise! Some days he gets a lot. Other days he cant focus. But with each run, he gets better and better and better at it!

It almost makes me think about homeschooling him. Really if I could I'd pack the kids up and go traveling and home school for a while. However I think starting him on preschool stuff is good enough for now.

I'm thinking this upcoming week (its a Sunday for me while I write this) I'm going to try and structure his day a bit more. Focus on A letter and maybe incorporate some Sesame Street or something into it when Little is still awake. I'm trying to be more consistent with their routines. I'm hoping I can start getting James to Focus and to learn.

Deep inside I want him to have my Husbands brain power and not mine. Because mine, is very feeble and scattered.
