Our homeschool life
Cameron is apparently allergic to anything that looks like school. He loves to figure things out on his own. He generally has his own way of explaining and doing things. He loves for me to read to him. He would be happy if I’d read to him all day every day. […]
The ABC song is Fritz’s favorite song. He can be fussing away and we’ll sing the ABC song and he calms right down. He doesn’t like Baa Baa Black Sheep or Twinkle Twinkle Little Star. Same tune, doesn’t like the words. It’s got to be the ABCs.

My dad left about 40 minutes ago to take Cameron for his weekend with the grandparents. Tonight they are going to eat crabs. Whole ones that have to be picked. By the time I was Cameron’s age I could clean a crab with the best of them. My grandparents lived on […]
I finished reading Upside-Down Brilliance by Linda Kreger Silverman this morning. It was a highly enlightening book. I feel like I understand Cameron’s way of thinking a lot more now.
First the bad. The book is way too long. She repeats herself over and over. I suppose that is okay if […]
