Two Week Review: March 16 - 29

These were a busy two weeks.  Scooby-Doo went back to speech therapy and my mom came to visit for a week, plus we did Ostara (Easter) while she was here and I had to make homemade candy for that (Scooby-Doo has severe allergies and store bought candy is rarely safe).

So, what did we do?

Scooby-Doo was so happy to go back to speech therapy.  During their spring break he was so grumpy and moody, and he kept trying to climb into the car and buckle himself into his car seat.  We did some schoolwork, but not as much as the last two weeks.  He also sang his abc's for his therapists which was a first.

Optimus Prime & Bumblebee were sad their fitness class was over with, but t-ball starts next week so they got over it pretty quick!  Now I just need to figure out how to schedule that in everyday...

They are still doing just fine on their schoolwork, and they've been real good about doing extra pages.  I fixed our schedule to reflect what it was initially supposed to be for the quarter, and by that schedule we are only two weeks behind.  So, we'll keep squeezing in a little bit here and there and we should be completely caught up by the end of the quarter.  Then I'll go back to updates about their regular schoolwork.

What did we (they) read?

A LOT!

27 books each.  That's more than double what they read for the previous two weeks.  That's just short of 4 times what they read the two weeks before that.

Optimus Prime is doing great with his reading.  I'm hoping it'll come together soon for him so I can stat focusing on Bumblebee.  I always thought Bumblebee would get this reading thing down first.  If they keep at this pace they're going to prove me wrong...
