I\'m Summer, a mouthy, sarcastic bitch. I\'m passionate about natural birth, long term breastfeeding, and living naturally. I curse too much, love tattoos, and will some day be crushed to death by my book collection. I homeschool, dream of gardening, and swing to the left. 
Learning when I wasn’t looking
We were supposed to be covering the number 1 today, but I had to go to the post office so we threw studies to the wind and headed off to town instead. A strapped to my chest sound asleep while E skipped, danced, ran, and giggled next to me the long walk down. We discussed the color of the grass and the trees, played chase with a butterfly, stopped to smell the flowers, and had quite the conversation about sharing a treat with Papa if we go see him later.
At one point we passed by the cable company’s satellite farm (as I like to call it). E blew me away by recognizing several of the letters on the giant sign they hang out front. Whoa! We’ve just begun letters, how does he know this? I’m going to point my finger at the fact that last year I watched his older cousin during the afternoons after she had her preschool. E was generally napping during that time, but maybe he picked it up in his sleep. I don’t know.
On the way back we swung past the firestation that had the old truck pulled outside for a good cleaning and inspection before the parade this coming Tuesday. E was absolutely in love with the old red beast. Of course I pointed out that it had a large gold 1 painted on the side. There, there’s our number study for the day. LOL
An hour and a half after we marched out the door we were marching back in ready for cold drinks. I made burritos and flipped through a magazine while E raced cars all over. After we ate he begged and pleaded for “the dinosuar movie” so I popped in Walking With Dinosuars then curled up to nurse A and enjoy E’s excitement over the growling beasts on the screen.
it may not seem like much of a day, but I think we did pretty good.
That sounds like a wonderful day mama! It sounds like it was very enjoyable =)
