I haven't made as much progress with Dante as I had hoped. We are still in the middle of the forest and Virgil is explaining the reason for his being sent to Dante. I take it there are three ladies in Heaven that have a soft spot for Dante, they asked, and Virgil accepted, being in a rather purgatorial position and able to wander around below.
Virgil reminds me of Jacob Marley. He's not quite the tormented soul, but he has the same mission. Just an observation.
I am starting to get very interested in the story. I can't wait to get the actual book, but it's working out well with the pages I printed out because there is lots of space to to write out the questions that I want to ask the group. I will be very interested to see who is on the group and what they are thinking as they read.
I'd like to be a little more contemplative about it. Maybe that will come as the story progresses.
So back to the business of 2nd grade Math and Geography. John doesn't want to write out the assignment so I will have to convince him!
Paul...is still in his room contemplating his clothing choices. He really takes a long time to get going in the morning! Next year is going to be a rude awakening.
He is a free little spirit right now. He woke up this morning as I was combing my hair and he noticed that I had not made my bed yet. So he laid down on it and Tim asked if he wanted the covers up. He nodded and snuggled in and before I knew it he was fast asleep. He got another hour in! Well that's how it should be when you're four!
Off I go to motivate!
