We are really enjoying our time learning and doing many things together this summer. The schedule went well last week. We made little animals for our nature table (a dog, a bunny, a mouse and later a bird to take care of the eggs in the nest), we also made beeswax eggs. We had our first tea party with home made chocolate muffins which Mateo helped make, you can see him wearing his chef outfit! On Friday we went to the pool and on Saturday we went to our land where he also practiced swimming in a nice puddle left on our new construction site. What a great way to have fun and dirty!

I have not mentioned it before but after Mateo turned 5 years old, he began to read in Spanish. He now goes around reading all he can in books and street signs. Today, I notice that he also can read few words in English! I really don't push him to read because I want to wait until he is 6.5 or 7 to start formal schooling with language arts and math; however, we never tell him not to do something that is unfolding naturally. It is amazing how much he is learning outside school!
