And it’s free! I also use Teach Your Child to Read in 100 days. It’s wonderful! My son in now 5 and doing well. My 3 year old has started and is moving right along.

He likes looking at the pictures and he liked doing the projects, but he just got weird about doing it. He loves working with his Ed Emberly books, so I should just let it go at that, but I really want him to be interested in art, etc. He didn’t like just straight art projects with no goal. He didn’t like just experimenting with different media. He’s a goal-oriented kid which is why I thought this curriculum would work and it still might, he just needs to try it on again :)

Since I don’t home-school, this might be way off-base (I know I don’t understand the curriculum), but with teaching art to little kids, I found starting with abstract impressionism usually got them excited – shapes, colors – and bang, lots of little Jackson Pollocks and a few Picasos emerged. Of course, I skipped the influence of the Spanish Civil War. ; )

Eh, you probably already tried that. Just a thought.

I hope you are well. I truly am impressed!

I’m really trying to drink more water, but fail miserably most day. I don’t know why it’s so difficult! I think I just get distracted and forget about it…. Good luck this month. :)

It never occurred to me to include it in my #3in30 – fantastic idea! Keep up the good work!

As well as the other things. Best of wishes!

Don’t worry about the chores. You took the first step and made great progress. New habits take time to stick, right?
