Poor DS is sick today. I'm afraid he might have strep. We have a Doctor's appointment this afternoon so I guess we will soon find out. He's watching the Discovery Channel today and will take a book with him to the doctor's. Probably "Stories from the Iliad and Odyssey".

He's been doing pretty good. I've been having my doubts as usual. I think all homeschooling parents do now and again, especially new ones. Anyway, the other day we were at the store and they were having a sale. The item I was looking at was on sale for a 1/3 off. I said kind of to myself, "Dang, why can't it be 1/2 off I don't have to think for that!"

DS came running over saying, "I can do it! Let me!" He was actually excited to do math! And fractions at that!! He did do it and he did correctly. So I guess, we are doing okay. I'm so glad to see him start to get excited about learning and showing what he's learned. To me, it's a step in the right direction.
