Howdy everybody.
Hope everyone is doing swimmingly on this particular Thursday in July. Whats new at our place this week? Well I am glad you asked :) I am currently learning to crochet and am really enjoying it. My Nana gave me all of her old crochet stuff, so I have being going crazy learning all the different techniques. I even finished a hat with ear flaps and a flower this morning. I will take some pictures of April wearing it and try to remember to post them later. I am pretty proud of myself! Nathan has been calling me an old lady though with all my elderly hobbies of baking and crocheting. Once I have mastered this I think I am going to learn to knit too.
In other news I have been teaching Joel to read. Well working with him anyways. His best friend, whom he met in kindergarten, knows how to read so he has been really wanting to learn. He gets pretty frustrated though and doesn't want to sound anything out. He just thinks he should be able to look at the word and try to guess what it is. Then he goes and pouts when he can't figure it out. Thank goodness grade one is only a month away.. I am not a very good teacher.
I have also been working with Colin to try and eliminate is terrible violent habit of hurting people when he doesn't get what he wants or is frustrated with someone. I don't like spanking my kids but it seems to be the only way through to this boy of mine! He is definitely a stubborn kid. He is the sweetest funniest kid when he wants to be but watch out when he is in a bad mood. I guess that can be said about us all. I hope we can get this corrected before he goes to playschool is September though.
April has been walking around all over the place lately. She really doesn't crawl much at all at home anymore. I will post some video later of that too.
