New Haircut & Telling Time too

C's hair was getting very long, and C perspires a LOT from his head, since he was a baby. It's been rather hot so I gave him a haircut today. Saved $15 for not going to the barbershop! He was very good while gettin his haircut. I rewarded him with a Chocolate chip cookie, and he wanted 2 star stickers (small things on his shirt) He said, "I don't like my hair short, I look like C****n." C****n is his friend from Church about 8 months older than C is. He does look much more mischievous with his hair short.

C is learning how to tell time. We play games with this clock. I'll twirl it around, and have him guess the time. Or, I'll call out a time and he moves the hands to the correct position. Below is a picture of when I asked him to show me the time "6:35". He's gotten quite good at it.

We're sick, but trying to homeschool

C has been attending Preschool for 3 half days a week for socialization. He of course brought home a new cold from school. Homeschooling has been put on the back burner this week as both of us were sick. This one is a doozey. C has been putting himself to sleep lately and taking some nice long naps. I'd be doing some chores and find that it's a little too quiet, so I go check on him and find him sleeping. He's still recovering from the cold I think. I've tried to take him to the park days in Chino Hills with other youngsters, but he doesn't want to go. He says the park is too far. I think it's not fun for him because the children there are mostly younger. I would like to go just so I get some socialization... it's rather lonely being home. I'm still getting adjusted to being home. It's not easy after working for 3 straight years. I get depressed sometimes just because I have no adults to talk to, share ideas, and get creative with. (call me spoiled)

Here he is again, napping, this is RARE for him.

He still loves math! I did walk him through this problem. He put it up all by himself, then asks me what the answer is, so I say, ok, what is 2 divided by 1? He'll answer "2". So I'll say OK, so 2 times 9 would be?... and he'll answer "18!"
