re-cap

We had a great day yesterday--over an hour at the park and a trip to the Museum of Science with a friend from Waldorf, where Seven and Four attended kindergarten and preschool last year.  It was a beautiful day--I love this time of year!  Seven wrote in his adventures journal last night, and is currently working on a huge creature mural with drawings of the volcano we saw yesterday and some of his favorite creatures.  Four began her own flower mural, but has left that activity to dress up as a princess and re-enact a wedding we recently attended uses her horses as the bride and groom.  I love her imaginative play!

At the park we searched for bugs, as that is Seven's chosen theme of study.  It's a topic he feels pretty comfortable with, so I'm not surprised and actually am feeling a bit thrilled to be following his lead.  His Waldorf friend is also being homeschooled, so we made plans to meet up regularly.  The boy's mom commented on how relaxed and outgoing Seven seemed yesterday, compared to the painfully shy & reserved boy she knew last year.  I really think the relief of the social pressure he felt from a group setting has, ironically, allowed him to be more relaxed and outgoing.  Hoping this trend will continue.

Four had a blast "zooming" all over the museum yesterday.  We met a little friend (only 2yrs old) at the park last week and she was there again yesterday.  It's interesting to watch Four interact with her.  Not a lot of talking, but she wants to "show" this little tot all of her "pretty things", so of course we left with a shopping cart full of jewels, etc.  Lucky she was there!

We are off to do some visiting today....more later!
