My Boys

I'm starting a very casual, informal homeschooling program with Burl.  I've been thinking about the different interests my boys have and how I can help encourage the development of their natural talents.  I thought I'd share a little bit about each of them.

Burl: 

Loves numbers (counting, adding, taking away, putting a quantity on things, "Mommy, I love you 63, 64, and 65 one hundreds.  Is that a lot?"), bugs, animals (especially kitties), destroying things (shredding paper with scissors, whacking blackberry vines with sticks, stabbing holes in cardboard boxes, ripping paper and books, etc.), hero/ villain relationships, making up stories with me (we each make up a part and add on to the other's), pirates, climbing things as high as he can go, throwing balls.

Bodhi:

Balls, women, water (swimming, playing, and drinking), baby animals, forts!, anything that gets him to smile and laugh, dirt, sand, bugs.

Enjoy your day, Friends!

Today I sent a few letters to some friends, just because, and it felt really nice.  I don't do it often enough, I'd like to change that.  I think that will be a new and revised goal for me.

My shoulder is kinked today (everyday, really) from having my babe attached all night long.  He's nearly a year, and I wonder when he'll start sleeping without having to nurse all night.  Physically I long for it; I miss sleeping with my arms curled in and the blankets all up to my face.  Yet, I know when the days come where he sleeps without nursing, I'll miss it.  So here I go again, trying to savor these (sometimes difficult) days, despite the kinked shoulder.

Happy Wednesday, Friends.  Thanks for stopping by.

did you feel it?  this morning, i did.  the air is changing.  the babe and i went on an early morning walk - it was crisper, dewy-er, and cozier - all very good things.

have you had a look through flickr polaroid week 2012?  it's pretty fabulous.

happy tuesday, friends.
