First Day of School

Today we had our first day of school.  I took plenty of pictures to show what we did.  Josiah had A LOT of fun.  I don't know, but I still continue to be amazed by his memory. 

After Chris gets home from each day, he spends a few minutes letting Josiah show him what we did for school that day.  I'm keeping all of our activities in binders to help in this process.  Josiah was showing Chris our weather calendar with the sunshine on it. Then out of no where he says, "Wednesday, Daddy."  We talked just a few moments about today being Wednesday early in the day, so I was totally surprised that he remembered it.  Then we did a Bible lesson on Doubting Thomas.  We then did a craft with hands that had red "nail holes" in them.  When Josiah was showing Chris his craft, he said, "Nails.  Jesus' hands."  Again, this was first thing in the morning and he remembered what we talked about.  He was also able to point out the capital A and the little a when we asked him to. He also, told Chris the sound that Aa makes and that apple begins with Aa.

So we had a great first day.  Josiah had lots of fun doing our activities and Sophie enjoyed supervising his work.  I think our schedule is going to work--we got school work done and Mommy was even able to get some cleaning done and made dinner.  I was a little worried that I wouldn't be able to keep up with the daily chores, but everything worked out just fine.
