We had a quiet day, hanging around the house talking and playing. No structure, no planned activities, just going with the moment. It started clouding up this afternoon as we wait for Cindy to make her appearance. We are under a flood watch and are expecting 2-6 inches of rain. We need it. Not that much all at once, but we need it. Musa and Retta are hoping for another "river" to form on the side of the property. They have their variouss sailing vessels ready for action.
Musa waxes and wanes on his Legos. He seems back into them lately. He has made 4 or 5 amazing looking creatures. I think it helps focus and relax him some.
Retta and Musa put on an impromtu sock puppet show for me. It was quite involved and very funny. As usual there were fire engines, police, emergency room visits and chase games and Retta threw in a couple of "ferocious Kodiac bears from Alaska." There was lots of gigling.
Musa and I have also been working on some real life math problems. It is great to see him sort of freeze at the beginning, but as he takes his time and draws pictures and takes it step by step he gets it. It is so cool to see the light bulb go off and he always feels so successful. We have to freedom to take our time and really work on it (or not) until it makes sense.
C'mon Cindy...were are ready to sail!!!!
