Today is Reformation Day! I hope to get more added to this post about Reformation Day, but in the meantime, take a look at my ‘from me’ blog post today about the Reformation Day Faire we attended last weekend.

Vision Forum has the 2009 Vision Forum Family Catalog in the mail. We just got ours a few days ago. The children are having a blast looking through it.

With over 150 new items, warehouse space must be made. So over 100 items are being discontinued. Now is your last chance to get some of those things you’ve been wanting - at UP TO 70% DISCOUNT!

Perhaps its a "Grow a Frog Kit", or the story of the Titanic, or the history of Jamestown or Plymouth, or the case for the Electoral Collage - especially relevant right now. Perhaps its information on Creation, theology, or culture. Perhaps its a "Lamplighter" reprint for family read aloud time. Perhaps its toy horses, toy soldiers, or toy guns - just for fun. These and MANY MORE are available at great discount through OCT. 27th.

Today as I and our 4 yos were lying in bed and I was reading to myself, he asked –

"Why can’t I hear you reading?"

Interesting coming up with an explanation a 4 yo can understand. He saw me turning pages; knew that I was reading. But words weren’t coming out like in our family read aloud times, or when I read individually to him. He sees his brothers and sisters and me reading to ourselves all the time. I wonder if he’s been thinking on this for a long time, or it just occurred to him this time, that I was reading, but he couldn’t hear anything.

His conclusion was that he can read in his head too. To which I replied, "You have to understand what the words on the page mean."

"Oh!"

He’s already trying to keep up with learning everything his 6 yob is learning. Perhaps he’ll be an earlier reader.

But I think I’ll make sure he does a lot of oral reading to me (as I do with all our children until they are fluent readers,) to make sure he knows what those words on the page are and mean.

Posts have been unusually long in coming here lately. Why? 2 answers:

We’ve been trying to push through to a good resting place in our studies. We just finished the book of John - and are now finishing our Journals, are moving slowly in HisStory in 20th century - finishing WWI, are exapanding our health and nutrition studies - along with food preparation, working on the character quality of Availability - learning about the UNavailable cowbird.

We thought we would have proper attire for the Faire for all but our 2 oldest boys, but found we need to make outfits for our 2 girls also. AND I’m still not sure I’m wanting to wear my Reformation period wedding dress to an outdoor event - so perhaps new attire for me is in order too. AND we are down to 2 weeks before we go. Gotta get those machines a humming.

So –until next time…
