Copywork Comments

Yesterday my 2yr. old and 7yr. old were working nicely at the table. Ok, rewind---that's what I hoped was going on. At first glance it seemed like they were getting along. It turns out that the 7yr. had left to do something and came back to find the 2 yr. old in her seat (This happens daily). The 2yr. old was working quite well, drawing on some scratch paper. The 7yr. old took the paper and the 2yr. old yells, "THAT'S MY COPYWORK!" :)

Speaking of copywork, we have enjoyed using The Happy Scribe series as handwriting/copywork. I like that there are a variety of topics that can be easily integrated into whatever themes we are studying. Each download comes with 3 styles of handwriting, making it usable for all ages. Here is a free Pets download if you want to check them out.

Love Languages

The other day the kids and I were having a discussion about Love Languages. We talked about how some people feel loved when they are given gifts, others feel loved when they are hugged, and some feel loved when someone does something for them, like emptying the dishwasher when it wasn't their job. After much fussing, the kids had finally finished doing all their chores for the day. DD#3 (she is known for dragging her feet or convincing others to do her work) looked at me and said, "Well mom, you should feel pretty loved then." :)
