My first born son spun me out today. He is clever like that really. First of all he somehow managed to squish his left thumb in the car door. A first for us. That didn't spin me out. It was terrible.
A few hours later when I sat the two older children at the dining table to commence more book work my 5yr old first born child announced that he "Can't do my school work because I have a sore finger. It hurts when I turn the pages".
Pfft! Dont worry about that mate! I'll turn the pages for you.
But then he spun me out again. I could hardly believe it.
I placed a brand new worksheet in front of him from our brand new curriculum thingie and asked him what it said. He told me. It said BIRD. I didn't tell him. There is no pictures next to it either. So okay the kid can read bird. But then I asked him the next one. RABBIT. WHOAH!! and the next? CAT, KITTEN & DUCK... Okay so I did help him with duck. But after saying "der" he got the rest.
These words are NOT words I have worked with him before.
So clever...
I'm proud...
