Homeschool Field Log: Day 20

Homeschooling is harder than The Researcher ever thought it would be (see Examples 1 and 2). We face daily challenges from apathy, to pure pigheadedness (on both our parts).

But Thing 1 is learning, and he's making rapid progress thus far. His reading specialist said he has come a long way in a short amount of time. He read the first chapter of The Boxcar Children all on his own yesterday. It was one of The Researcher's favorites as a kid. He loved it so much we read the whole book in two hours! So we're setting to work on the second book asap.

Example 1, Reading quietly with the cat

Example 2, Darn you Thing 2!!!

    The only one of your blogs that would allow me to comment - just wanted to say that you take great pictures (even with Thing1 and Thing2 squirming around!) I love Pete Yorn and didn't know anything new was coming out so thanks for the heads up!
