All Along the Watchtower

We're still dialing down from the excitement of Thanksgiving. We both enjoy having company and it's hard to get back in the routine, especially with Christmas right around the corner. We've managed to continue our schoolwork, though it remains to be seen whether my bold prediction of teaching DD to read by Christmas will be fulfilled. I thought it would be easier. Famous last words. But, she still likes practicing her letters (for the most part) and she loves her books, so we're good on that score. If I could just get her to remember that 13 comes between 12 and 14, I'd be doing well.
