This morning, the kids really needed to have a few good hours of playing upstairs together. Every so often, there is this need to just play, unsupervised, for a long chunk of time. It's been a while. And, I do mean "unsupervised". They would come to me about their disagreements over what and how they should play from time to time and I only gave general suggestions, if anything at all. Most frequently, I just reminded them that they can get going on workbooks now instead of later--or--they can figure out a plan together, nicely. I think they needed to have some time to practice working things out for themselves. They often emerge closer together and more confident after these times. One of the activities they did was play with LEGOs. I am so proud of them. They each brought different personalities to the table and had to remember how to treat each other.
Sophia was very excited, as usual, to do her work books. Here, she is doing her new dot-to-dot book that we found at Barnes and Noble.
