"Schooling"

We decided not to put Bridger in a formal preschool this year for several reasons. I'm finally at home full-time, and he still has at least two school years until kindergarten--plus, we had no idea where to send him having just moved here. The biggest reason, however, is that we are still planning on homeschooling, though much will depend on the church-plant and how we feel like we are in the community at the time and lots and lots of prayer.
So, I've been doing some experimenting with a few non-invasive lessons here and there and in the last few months he seems to have started to enjoy learning (as opposed to previously when the more excited I was for him to learn something, the more squirrely he'd become). He was doing so well with his sounds that I decided to start "reading" some BOB books. He's really cute because he knows all the sounds, but doesn't quite understand the putting them together for words yet, so I think we're going to phase out BOB for the time being.

He is also suddenly interested in writing and coloring. I used to see all these nice children coloring and drawing, and then there was my son who would take all the caps off the markers and color on himself, if he didn't get too bored with it before he thought of that. Anyway, he just was able to write his name which made me feel like he's all grown up.
