inch by inch. It’s part of an old Patch the Pirate song I learned growing up.
Little by little,
Inch by inch.
By the yard it is hard,
By the inch what a cinch.
Never stare up the stairs
Just step up the steps!
Little by little.
Inch by inch.
It’s a cinch!
That’s how school is going. We’ve been working at it since July. A little here, a little there. So far, thePinkDiva has learned to tell her left from her right, and is now readily identifying most of the letter of the alphabet all on her own!
GeekBoy is showing that he hates the drudgery of math, and would much rather move on to something new. He figures he’s got this adding thing under control. Reality is, he needs work. By try telling him that when he’d much rather learn something fresh, like multiplication! Sorry dude. You need a good foundation in addition and subtraction before you can move on to multiplying.
My biggest roadblock has been History. but with the arrival of the A&O Grade 1 history books, hopefully we can have somewhere to start, not to mention figure out if we can work with A&O considering GeekBoy’s disdain for workbooks.
Meanwhile, Lil’Chicano now counts to 8 all by himself, and the best part… He’s potty training! all on his own. I will not rush him. There are days he wants a diaper, and days he wants his unner-wayers. Way to Go little man!
