Mom time

Can I just say how happy I am that my 6-year-old (7 next month!!!) is such a great kid? I've been feeling for awhile that I needed to get back into working out. Not just walking, or doing my 20-30 minute workouts (which I've stubbornly clung to even when I'm not eating right), but my full-on P90X workouts. I loved how strong I was getting when I was doing P90X before, and I just decided to start up again. So today, I scheduled a P90X/TurboFire hybrid (I love TurboFire because most of the workouts are only 30 minutes, which fits great because of the 17-month-old lol).

Enter Stevi (6yo). She is awesome. As I type this, my fingers are a-trembling because I actually got to finish P90X Chest and Back for the first time in probably a year. She has been playing with Sister, entertaining her the whole hour-long workout. I feel AWESOME.

On a less self-centered note - School is going great this year. I looked up the core standards for 1st grade, and Stevi is well on her way to more than half of them being met already. So we're just sort of moving forward in a natural progression. :) She's great. She has already learned the Pledge of Allegiance (took her a day lol). We are learning about Colonial America, math is going great although I think she is bored, so I think we're going to move on to money today. She has addition and subtraction down pat.

Anyway, I am loving our independent study model. I think, for us anyway, it's well worth not having a curriculum outlined. It's definitely taking more of my time than the online public did, but that's alright. I didn't homeschool so as not to spend time with her - hah!

Also, we are reading Charlotte's Web, and I'm so excited to watch Stevi get into it. She's loving the book, and even wanting to read me the story instead of sit and have me read it to her. I've got a keeper!!!

Later folks! Hope you all have a wonderful day!
