What happens when you turn an Asperger's five-year-old loose with a bag of gemstones and the first few numbers of the Fibonacci sequence?
A spiral that covers your living room carpet and may not, under ANY circumstances, be moved. I wish I had taken a picture. We were all tip-toeing from the kitchen to the bedrooms for an entire evening. God save the person who had to go pee and accidentally moved a gemstone with an errant toe.
This week we only had one "real" morning of homeschooling, where Ezra made two books, learned a couple form drawing shapes---- (You guys know this: there once was an old woman who back was bent by the weight of all her wisdom, and she carried a strong oak branch for a walking stick. And her greatest joy in life were her three granddaughters)---- and spent the rest of the morning getting his Fibonacci on. My aspirations of doing a little with him when I got home from school on Wednesday and Friday were sort of subsumed by the kids' desire to play The Princess (Isis) and the Very Unwilling King (Ezra) Build Multiple Forts. Gymnastics on Friday morning pretty much rounded out our first official homeschooling week.
Next week plans: new form drawings, start the folk tales. I've been such a slacker on the bedtime reading lately! We're all climbing into bed completely knackered; it's been hard enough to bend over and kiss them without me staggering over from exhaustion (hyperbole interlude).
Ezra and Fibonnaci: match made in heaven, or recipe for me to be stepping on gemstones in the middle of the night until he's 18?

Hey, so I am a horrible friend, and have been wondering why you never update your blog, and then today I realized this is your main blog and I never read it. So, my bad. Now I'm reading. I care! I care!
Ps. Maybe you should keep buying Disney's Not So Evil Magazine to convince them there's a market for Good in the world, and that people are interested in more than 15-year olds in tight pants surrounded by flashy lights.
Pps. I will never stop loving The Little Mermaid.
i'm convinced he needs his own room
