WRITING: 'Ladybird' Wipe-Cleans, Good Value for Money.

And here goes, the new writing book.  Though it looks less fancy, it made more sense to me.  For starters it has loads of letters per page, so more flow, really. Just letters, hardly any drawings on main letter pages , so I assumed O will get a bit bored, but no such thing, I think he probably found other stuff a bit distracting. So far so good.  The pen's not great, will try the old one next time.

I noticed O took to wiping out some of the letters if he didn't like them , and tried to do them again.  I assumed he was being a perfectionist, but no, he explained that he wanted to make sure that he will 'still get all 5 rides, ice cream and candy floss' on the Carters' steam fair this weekend!

Note to self: If someone is coming over, like nan, not even playdate or anything like this , finish all study, even if just a bit, beforehand or your child will have trouble concentrating.  Silly me.

Another thing. Someone in the pub we popped into for a drink asked him if he knew what letter 'it was' in the paper, so he said Capital 'S' , the lady said something along the lines 'Oh nice, what school are you going to?' to which O looked a bit confused', as did we , as it was the first time for us , the newly homeschooling parents.  We not home-schooling evangelists of any sort, we just choosing to homeschool, that's about it.  We said to our son to tell people that he's going to school next year, thinking that it will either sink in or be easier to explain, when he's not quite such a completely newly made little boy.  But then he looked really worried and said he didn't want to go to school , few times over. Since then , once , he commented , when I told him that we going to 'go and do some reading now', he said quietly , as if to himself,  'we going homeschool'. Why on earth did we think that the whole logistic  of it was just going right over his head?
