This guy was ALL SMILES after he started this book! I have tried so many things to get reading to click for him. He just opened up this big intimidating chapter book and read the first sentence like it was no big deal. The look on his face was shock! 😍😂😎 On a whim I pulled out this third grade reader that my last third grader found way too dull. It happens to be carefully written with smaller words and bigger print. Something I thought I had tried with him before. 
Aparently today's the day for reading to click! He was so smiley and actually said, I'll happily read this book again tomorrow! 
I've been losing sleep over this stuff lately, but then we homeschool Mamas get to witness the big moments like this, and it's all worth it!
Shout out to the last few years of Explode the Code building up his skills. Also, shout out to my planner and my 2nd kiddo, the planner said it's his day to make lunch, so he whipped up those sandwiches and set up the little guys with a picnic while we finished reading! 😍😍😍

Having an exceptionally good Monday over here! This week we're testing out this year's full day schedule, just subbing reading for most of the curriculum spots. I'm trying to figure out how to explain what this week looks like, but it's complicated... Next week is the start of our school year and I've already realized our schedule needs some tweaks - like I forgot morning snack time! What!? Homeschoolers can't possibly go without snack time, they will all surely perish! At least that's how it sounds around here! 😂 I refilled our analog barometer and sharpened a bouquet of pencils, among a million other little things - we're feeling more ready everyday!

"Mommy! We're trying to catch a bird!"
"I got a leaf bug"
"That's not a stick, it's a lobster"
Adorable little boy chatter overheard from the bushes. 😍
