We are recovering from our visit with Grandma and Grandaddy. We had a blast, as usual, but DD was absolutely worn out. She fell asleep at 6:30 Sunday night. I fully expected to be awake before the birds this morning, but she slept in until about 6:30. Whew. She was one tired pup.
We played lots of games today: Franklin Goes to School, Monoply Jr., Uno, and Old Maid. She read six or eight Bob books today from volume 3. We borrowed volumes 3 and 5 from the library. I think we may purchase 5; it's more difficult than previous volumes, so it would be worthwhile to have our own copy. She informed me that I needed to get her more Bob books. Alrighty!
So far, I'm pretty pleased with my unschooling experiment. I'm now looking for worksheets that correspond to the material that's covered in Phonics Pathways. I plan to litter those around the house and only involve myself if she asks for my help (ha ha). I'll try, anyway. I have to work harder at facilitating instead of instructing (otherwise known as bossing).

Apparently DGD did not master the technology to post a comment. I have taken more aspirin in keeping with our DGD created addiction and will try this one more time.
DGM and DGD truly enjoyed our DGD sleep over and Big Adventure. We played the 3 r’s, riding bikes, reading, and roughhouse. We aspire to get to DGD’s level, as lofty as it is, but DGM and DGD do not bend. Hence the Big Adventure results are an addiction to aspirin.
We certainly enjoyed discussing the Medieval Art on exhibit at the Frist. Amazing artifacts and interestingly conserved. DGD was on her game and listened to the Docent explaining about each significant piece.
BUT, we are ready for another Big Adventure, as soon as I get the crick out of my neck-riding DGD.
