I love that you all have a Montessori-type approach to learning and that you build on something that he loves to while slowly incorporating stuff that he doesn't love to do. I'm sure it cuts way down on the tantrums. And helps him understand that learning is fun. Too bad the public school system will kill all of that by the time he gets to high school. ;)Allysonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05536029582533052135noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7002258242339978362.post-25524973328546427352012-05-09T21:57:50.057-05:002012-05-09T21:57:50.057-05:00Aw, he has a wonderful Grandma.Aw, he has a wonderful Grandma.AiringMyLaundryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11051140760624657630noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7002258242339978362.post-78391514678827349502012-05-08T02:26:57.787-05:002012-05-08T02:26:57.787-05:00A very lucky boy to have such positive encourageme...A very lucky boy to have such positive encouragement!

I love this: "Sometimes you get your wish not by receiving the thing you wished for, but by getting the opportunity to obtain it for yourself." A great lesson (reminder) for all of us, regardless of age.
