These days I feel like all I'm doing is laying around the house. Just this last week, my body worked overtime on completing the little baby toes, external ears, and upper lip.
Hard work, I'm telling you.
As hard as I've been...uh, working... unfortunately the whole homeschooling thing has had to go out the window for a season. It just doesn't seem to fit in with the "I can't move, I'm making baby organs right now" motto.
But apparently the girls don't need me to teach them. They've been learning new things just fine without me these past few weeks.
Selah knows each letter's sound...but then has started to break down words into those sounds. She'll walk around the house saying "Sweet. Ssss. Www. Eeee. T."
Then she started to write more letters...and just this past week, she stood at our dry erase board and tried to figure out what words she could write.
I couldn't believe it!
She's trying to figure out what other words she can write...
"Charis! What words should I write?"
:) I'm so proud of her! She's three and already teaching herself to spell! Because God knows I haven't been doing very much of it recently!
Who knows. Maybe if I continue to sit on my butt all day, she'll learn long division? Hmm... *wink*

That is THRILLING! And she's THREE!!! Yay! So rewarding. She's adorable.
Wowsers! I think ya got a genius on your hands!
I, for one, am a huge fan of shameless parental bragging. Also, I might borrow the "I'm busy making baby organs" line. I can see where Selah gets her genius.
Excellent, only 3? Thats great!!
Maybe she can come tutor Joseph.
I seriously wouldn't put it past them. :) There are times wehn I sit and wonder how they learned some of the things they did - our girls did pretty much the same learning to read - all on their own. Gotta love those self-motivators!

WOW! What an amazing little girl you have on your hands! You just sit back and make all those baby organs....looks like those little girls of yours will be just fine!
You are such an amazing Mother to our girls. While Selah is sharp as a tack and picks up a lot on her own...this is definitely a testament to you as a mother as well.
I love you Babe.
THAT is homeschooling my friend. Glad you figured it out!
