Even More Pictures, Even Smarter Kids

Here are even more pictures from our BC trip; I sure took a lot. In the first one Roman is chasing a bug, and in the second one he caught it and is so happy.

Roman is actually starting to talk! I know that's funny becuase he can read more than he can say, and can even spell a whole bunch of words now. But he is only 1 1/2, so his level of speaking (but nothing else!) is normal. It's so exciting; he can handle words like "birthday". And he says cute little stuff like "read book!" and "little baby!" and "I love daddy!" It's so amazing to see him turning from a baby into a little guy.

Angelina and I are still enjoying our daily learning time. I bought her a very cool little kids' history book and she took a shine to the ancient Romans ("hey, that's Roman's name!") She's already learned her way through human anatomy, the french language, plant science, and continents and countries, just to name a few things. I have just ordered an actual homeschool curriculum, so we can be a little less helter-skelter and get some neat ideas. I know it's hard to keep track about other people's kids so I'll tell you: she's just turned three, and in BC would start kindergarten in two years (here they have two years of kindergarten so she would start junior kindergarten in one year). Obviously, I can't send her, two years from now, into a class where they will be teaching the abcs! Roman either for that matter. What a lot of sleep I have lost over this.
