The Fruits of Labor

1) Thing 2 learned to tie shoes.  How many kindergartners in the age of velcro can do that?  He worked to perfect his skills every chance he got today.

2) Both kids learned to play lap harp today.  They serenaded me with a duet of Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star.

3) Thing 1 is studying the preamble to the Constitution and wrote her own preamble to the Constitution of our Household.  (Perhaps it should be written for our school.)

4) Both kids came running when Daddy got home tonight so they could tell and/or show him everything they've learned.

5) Thing 2 learned about the Native American article of clothing called a loincloth by listening to Thing 1's read-aloud, Walk the World's Rim.  Yesterday, he and Thing 1 tried to fashion one out of a bandana.  Today, they asked me to help.  For the last hour, Thing 2 has been running around in nothing but a loincloth.  Talk about bringing history alive!

If the fruits of our labor are any indication, I'd say a good day was had by all.
