Gold Star Moment #2
Posted on | October 4, 2008 |
I’m easily impressed, so you can imagine that when my children do anything, I am usually beaming with pride. Oh yeah, there are other times they can also make me shake my head and wonder what they could have possibly been thinking of (Did they learn that in school? Ahh…ahh.), where were they when they did it (Finding the beginning of a trail can be awful.), and when did they find the time to do it (Was I on the computer? Oops!). At this time and for this moment, it is their time to shine.
School continued more in regular form this week and that included a lot of new concepts. One of the additions to N.B.’s studies is looking words up in the dictionary, and writing and learning the definitions. Because he picks up other things so well, I also expected him to grasp the concept of looking up words really quickly, so after a frustrating day of him writing, I was wondering if we were going to have to do this later in the year. After the second day (and a little rest), he looked up all of the assigned words, spelled with a little assistance, and wrote and memorized all of the definitions.
Ms. Minna Beana has wanted to learn to read for a while. This week, she started her adventure into the freedom and power that reading offers. She not only learned and wrote her words, but was able to spell them orally minus flash cards. I’m excited for her about learning how to read.
I’ve told my older two to stop growing up and they have explained to me that God won’t let them, so they continue to grow. They also offered that if they could stop, then they would for Mommy. I tell them it’s okay to grow and to allow Him to grow them up strong. Schubaboobaly is my baby and along with his achievements dwindles the days of my baby and moves him onto being a little man. I can remember when he couldn’t even climb the stairs of the play set without assistance and this week, he climbed all the way to the top of the rock wall. As I watch him grow, I rejoice in his accomplishments, and try not to miss the baby he used to be.
These are just a few of their Gold Star Moments this week.
