Benny's Variation

Benny got a piece of paper and told me he was going to write down his Twinkle variation, which he performed at his recital but has never committed to paper. He had a marker and was toiling away with making lines for the staff and I came in here and got online and found a template for musical notation and printed him off a page of staff paper. I took it in the kitchen where he was toiling away and handed it to him and said, "Will this help you?" and he said, without looking up, "Oh thanks Mom." Then with his left hand he just casually swept everything off the table and onto the floor, and put the new paper down, with his right hand began making the G clef on the first staff immediately.

Why do I keep trying to homeschool this child? Why don't I just let him homeschool himself? I make lists of things for him to do, and then the actual schooling takes place in the part where he's in between things on the list.

Sadie, by the way, has Final Tooth poking through, and the little ANGEL went down for a nap without even a peep -- just laid down in the bed and tucked up with her blanket and went to sleep. Perfect, perfect, beautiful child.
