Nearly a month since I wrote anything down. It is a shock how quickly time flies and how little I dedicate to noting dear child’s amazing progress.
Every day there is something new that I have to watch for. At the moment dear child has learnt that it can be easier to tell fibs than to tell the truth. I have to steer him off this path.
His maths is surprisingly good. I’ve sat him in front of Tux Math and let him do the working out. He soon realised how to play the game. I need to get him a laptop of his own to play with.
Dear child is handling adding numbers in the game up to 10, which I think is dead good at his age. His reading level is still pretty good, I need to give him more books to read though.
One thing that did worry me a bit though was that he is asking for a bother or sister as he feels lonely. Given that another child may kill dear wife due to the hormones I am not going to entertain the idea.
We’ve read the Wind in the Willows. It’s not the story that I remember from when my dad read it to me all those years ago.
