I was inspired this morning, waking up leisurely beside my dear sweet darling, to note down the amazing things Daniel does on weekend days we don't rush off on some planned adventure.
Under the covers in bed, Daniel noticed that you could see the coloured squares printed on the top through the dark under layer. (He's noticed this many times in five years, but hadn't mentioned it in a while - or we hadn't hid under the covers together in a while...) "Look at the squares! They are so beautiful. Do you know what the most beautifulest combinations are? Red and green, and blue and red...like beautiful glass tiles decorating a floor!" (Has Daniel ever seen a glass tiled floor?)
On getting out of bed, craft supplies still strewn on the floor, Daniel announced he was going to make a Death Star out of tape and two plastic recycled dome shaped things (mocha covers??). While I was making coffee and a breakfast shake, Daniel started practicing letters, tracing and then free form in a simple work-book we have. "Do you want to see a sideways 'm'?" He asked me, running into the kitchen. He showed me the capital 'B'. "It's basically an 'm', except it has a line at the bottom." Said D.
Later, while I made a list of the errands and activities around The Drive for the day, Daniel carefully watched my writing, he suggested I draw pictures, so he could remember what each note said, and practice his reading.
Then he asked if he could do more work from the little activity books we bought at The Richmond Bog Centre yesterday. He did some connect the dots, a Komodo Dragon, while asking me about the numbers, learning the look of 15, 16, 21, 22 etc. Then did another connect the dots which were block letters, after doing the first two: 'G and L' he guessed the word must be 'glide' something. He then decided to colour the pictures in....
In the first hour of the day, Daniel has done at least half a day of Kindergarten....hhhhmmmm...or not, he hasn't done much lining up.
