It's been a while since I've written one of these. Gee, it's been a while since I've written anything here lol!
What we've been learning about, playing with, reading, eating, watching, discussing, repeating, trying to remember to, asking, contemplating, etc. in no-particular-order:
KIDDO: Simple calligraphy, Calvin and Hobbes, cells, harder algebra problems, Avatar (with
Aang and gang, not the blue people), gravity, Courage the Cowardly Dog, gas
laws, area of spheres proofs, The Hobbit (movie), drying and combing hair
before breakfast,
Feynman and his safe-cracking ways, reviewing gender in German nouns and
articles, "is Tolkien supportive of women's rights or not?", 5th grade STAR testing
(fun!), tautologies, enzymes, "is it scrumptious, is it juicy?",
summarizing an essay,
LaTeX,
ice cream (lots of it! maybe too much?!), swimming (if you can call it that),
Life of Pi (movie, only half though, couldn't summon
the courage to watch it all).
Tin Tin, cannon-balling, Downton Abbey theme, Japanese mealtime etiquette, stick swinging and air jabbing (during walks), why do we need
literary analysis?, complex numbers, Dexter's Lab, assembling a DIY model tank,
disliking the Samsas (poor Gregor!), the science of color, logic puzzles, leaf burning, the
courage of hobbits, proteins, Three Men in a Boat, "must I use a writing
curriculum?".
ADRIAN: Chewing, looking cute, getting into trouble, wagging, halitosis 401, lack of
math skills and what it means in his world, best positions for curling up to
sleep without losing sight of Mom and Big Bro, fetching, looking cuter,
sighing, being walked without sniffing at weeds every other second.
Eating
cherries without Mom's knowledge, finding good spots around the yard to you
know what (and knowing what "not in our pond area you don't!" means),
shedding, ear-flopping, toe-nipping.
