Keith is four and is really ready for reading lessons. He is telling us the first letter of so many words, sounding words out and recognizing various words as we read together! This means I need to put more structure in our day! Right now our days are easy going. We wake up around 7ish, have breakfast and do our morning routine (bathroom, brush, get dressed). Then we either go to the library, meet for a play date or go to the gym to play and swim. We usually get home right around lunch time and have a quiet/rest time until 2:30. This time is just as much for me as it is for the boys! After rest time we read and play outside sometimes I can get them into a jogger and go for a long walk to a playground. When we leave for the afternoon I usually bring a snack and drink so we don't have to make any unnecessary stops. Around 5ish we go home for dinner and the boys either play in the backyard or watch a show while I get things ready. Then its daddy time (which we all love!) until 7:00pm and off to bed.
Somehow I need to start scheduling reading and writing lessons for Keith. Ian is not ready yet but I know he will be soon once he sees Keith doing it!
There is a homeschooling conference in June where I can learn about and buy curriculum for Keith. I think that we will continue to read and play as usual until then.
