08/03/2004 Archived Entry: "swinging and singing"

Tabitha is out swinging on her swing right now and she's telling a story at the same time. She's not talking to me, in fact, I'm not sure if she's talking to an imaginary friend, or just talking to hear herself talk. But it's pretty cute to see her swinging away and telling a story all at the same time.

I counted how many lessons were left in Tabitha's math book and the answer is 42. So I need to start looking into what I'll need when I order Saxon Math 2. We started Math 1 last November so I think we went at a pretty good pace considering we don't do have a set schedule for lessons. Where we are now in Math 1, they just introduced adding two 2-digit numbers with regrouping and I'm not fond of the way they teach that. It goes against all my math training, but Tabitha gets it so it obviously works for her so I'm not going to mess with it. Speaking of ordering lessons, I ordered a phonics book for spelling awhile ago and I'm hoping it shows up soon. I order from a family based business so I know things are slower than a large corporation, but it's going on three weeks now for one book little $5.00 book. Perhaps it will be in today's mail. Plus, we should be receiving the pin I bought off ebay any day now. I love packages :)
