    Wow! He's got the style down...right to the handwriting! Keep encouraging him and buying those (expensive!) pencils!

    I saw an interview with Tony DiTerlizzi once, and he was saying that this is exactly how he draws. He looks at the works of artists he admires as he is drawing and copies and then adds his own flare. His blog is worth checking out.

    Clearly your son is talented, too!

    Thank you all! I will see if I can find that interview. I didn't think about checking out his blog! I did think about how Ben Franklin learned to write well by reading others' writings.

    Hi, I stumbled across your blog and love it. I'm tutoring a young boy who's home-schooled and needs a lot of support in reading. I have him working through a program called Ready2Read from another blog I ran across. He is responding to it quite well. My challenge now is to find a way for him to catalogue the words we are studying. I'm looking for a good printable dictionary. Your boys are much older, but I was hoping you may have run across something like this?

Wouldn't you know it?

Little Ben is still awake.   I hear a little kiss when I walk by his room, so I return the audible kiss.  Poor thing.  So, I am still awake -- waiting to turn the hall light off. So, I thought I would take a moment to explain my new meal plan .  I am hoping this will help make the days go more smoothly. I have a 4x6 index file box with dividers and index cards.  On each divider is written a category; my categories are : soups and stews sandwiches breakfast Italian casseroles Mexican beef chicken fish miscellaneous On a card, I write a dinner idea.  Many are pretty simple -- like beef/veggie soup with grilled cheese and salad.  I don't have anything listed that I've never tried.  I am personally tired of feeling guilty because I don't come up with new things.  Instead, I am going to have a container full of ideas, and I can try something when I feel like it. For items with recipes (like the blueberry pancakes I...
