Teachings of the little man....

Well Kevin started his at home preschooling this week Tuesday. We are studying basic colors...red, blue, green, and yellow. Also he has been practicing circles! He's doing very well.

He uses both hands, so I can not tell if he is ambidextrious or not, he may be. He has more control with his right, but he tends to want to hold it in his left hand sometimes, then he gets wild and crazy with the pens and crayons. LOL

We are also studying the letters A-E at this time. He's doing really well with it, he has also learned to draw his A's. :0) He made his first stick man today ever! And it was out of a circle he drew, which is awesome! I was so proud!

School has been great for Grace so far. The words she is studying in spelling are about fifth grade level for her...she was studying superferous (sp?) this week...LOL I can't even remember how to spell it right now. She is also reading Eragon, which the movie comes out on Dec 15th, and it's a 497 page book! I'm so proud.

She had to fill out a job application and do an interview for her class economy. She received the position of equipment matey...and she earns money at the end of each week, which they pay fines for discrepencies in behavior and work. Then at the end of the semester they do job applications and interviews again for another position. She wrote an acceptance letter for her position last night for the job for "extra credit". LOL

It's exciting stuff. Her first study trip was yesterday and they went to the Lafayette Art Museum and studied architechtural designs such as Queen Anne and things. They had a bus conflict and ended up at the last minute going yesterday afternoon anyway, after the teacher called everyone the night before to inform us they wouldn't be going for a few weeks. Very exciting stuff for her.

And she is so much more organized now. :0) This is so positive for her, it's going to be a great year! She's excited about school, and she's came home asking to look stuff up on the internet for the Olympics and do extra activites for school that she's not asked to, so she can take them into her teacher. LOL It's great!

As far as I go, after Kevin's preschooling yesterday morning, I ended up napping while he watched Tarzan II and then going to lunch with David, coming back to Phillis's for Kevy's nap and I laying down again until we had to pick up Grace. It's been good though, because although the fatigue is there, my brain functions are coming back, and that's awesome!!!! I have managed not to have severe fatigue this morning, so maybe I'm coming out of it. :0) Fingers crossed.

We have been processing apples like crazy, peeling, coring, bagging and freezing, making applesauce in the evenings, so I got to rest up to stay up and function normally for five hours last night, made me feel good and productive, that makes me happy!

We had drama at David's work yesterday, a little snafu...that his service manager got fired over. He's been doing some shadey stuff and harrassing David about various things in the past 6 months, so it's all for the best. The man started one month before me, and he got the manager position cuz one, I didn't want it. LOL And now he has NO job. Bye bye Dan the stupid service manager man! Hopefully they can bring Honda's service department out of the poo hole with customers. They've had an awesome reputation up until about a year and a half ago, when Dan's mishaps got in the way. :0( But this is positive and less stress for David. That's always a GREAT thing!!! For anyone!
