Ok so there went "blogging everyday". Life gets in the way too much. We have been having some family problems, so my "teaching" and even caring about goes on has gone right out the window. You can' t stop learning though. The girls are developing an learning like little weeds ... smart weeds.
Molly's vocabulary is getting huge. Her problem right now is she is going through a screaming phase. For example... She was calling the dog, so the dog came and sniffed her. She screamed and cried because the dog sniffed her. I gave her time out and told her to not play with the dog if she was going to scream when he touched her. About 10 minutes later she did the same thing! This type of thing is repeated all day.
When I ask her her name she says "Randa" So I am trying to teach her "molly".
I am still reading Charlotte Mason's first book. It isn't as dry as I thought it would be. She is easy to understand and I have made a lot of the same observations my self. She says that at this age (3&4) they should be learning behavioral habits. So that is what we have been focusing on since I quit blogging. She says only one habit at a time, but I have several that we are working on. Charlotte also says that children delight in habits, i totally agree. I have taught them the habit of not going in the street in front of the house. I have a fear of them being hit by a car, so this was an easy one to get across to them. They never go in the street with out me anymore. If they see their friends go into the street they tell them how bad it is. They are proud that they know not to go into the street as an older child is when he knows a fact that a younger child doesn't. Some other habits we are working on is "Please" "Potty Training" and "Eating what is sat in front of you". We will see how that goes.
