Luthien Loves Frogs and Dogs, I research Classical Homeschooling

I really can't fault Luthien's obsessive interests. I do the same thing. Right now, I have homeschooling on the brain, and have been doing a lot of reading and research.

She's been into frogs, dogs on the TV, and www.starfall.com. I now wish I hadn't given up our copy of Scooby-Doo, which went to my niece Dakota at the height of her scooby groove. It's Lady and the Tramp every day. We had checked out a Wishbone DVD from the library, but the time came to return it and they didn't have any others. I couldn't talk her into Benji or Lassie at the library. I tried putting in the Fox and the Hound instead of Lady and the Tramp, but it just made me cry and failed to hold her interest. And I thought Bambi was depressing!

Starfall is really teaching her things. She's started associating sounds with letters. Too bad the computer network won't work when it heats up around here. Or at all, this morning.

As for frogs, I found a cool area rug at Ikea on Wednesday. Now Luthien can jump from lilypad to lilypad around her room!
