Our summer ended with a crazy, wonderful, exhausting rush of out-of-town company, including Joseph's godmother, Lucy's godparents and their five incredible children, and Bob's brother and his Peace Corps volunteer sister, on vacation from Guatemala for a couple of weeks. There was also a couple of overnight stays in Memphis in there to accompany Papa on his work trips (and finally go to the Fire Museum).
Our calendar is pretty calm for the next month, and the weather has been positively, delightfully autumnal, so tomorrow we begin not-preschool.
I am really trying to ease in to this by sticking, at first, to the activity that comes easiest to me - reading. Also, since I have to cook dinner regardless, I've planned very simple meals that Joseph can help prepare. Assuming we get into a good grove, we may add some other structured-ish activities: pre-writing exercises, math manipulatives, nature walks, handicrafts and the like.
Joseph also had his first catechism class today before Mass. He announced very solemnly this morning as he was getting dressed that he would need to bring his notebook with him to class, so we sent him along with the beautifully covered notebook his aunt had brought him from Guatemala. I haven't seen the notes he took yet.
