So... Packing and moving and unpacking and organizing -- apparently not very blog post-conducive.
While I've been gone, Lucy has pretty much learned to read. Every day she surprises us by reading something that we had no idea she could read. Things that we haven't read to her. "Sisters Forever." "Do not block driveway." "The Grouchy Ladybug." "Do you see a mouse?" She is also spelling more and more, especially with the letter magnets on the fridge. (Easier than the hand-eye coordination required to write, and less frustrating, I suspect.)
Today we went to the library. Typed on the computer, put together a USA puzzle. She wandered around the magazine section, choosing titles like Mother Jones and Hot Rods to sit and flip through.
Our lawn care guy came by to introduce himself (he is landlord-appointed). At one point Lucy busted out with a clear and friendly "Nice to meet you, Doug!" He said she was better at names than he is. LOL.
Lots of Blues Clues this afternoon. She's been watching a lot of it the last couple days, probably because she hadn't watched it in a while, because it's not on Netflix anymore, but I only just figured out how to play Amazon Prime videos on the Wii (password protected against purchases -- whew!).
FYI, other parents -- there are a couple of great groups on Facebook solely for sharing educational videos on all subjects that are available on various internet sites. A large one is called Homeschooling with Netflix or something like that. I recommend looking them up!
