New Invention

Ok, I need a new invention. You know those cars that have that new "Microsoft Sync.." stuff in them? The one where you all you have to say is "call..home", and it dials it for you? Well I need a version that is nothing but a dictionary. Abigail is at the age where anytime you use a new word she wants to know the meaning of that word. This is great stuff..but how do you define the words "free country" to a 7 year old? The problem is, if you sit and think about it we all use words that we understand, but try to define them. For example the word "experience". We know what it means, but try to define it on the spot when a 7 year old asks "mom what does experience mean?" So, I am going to invent the dictionary version..."Dictionary define the word IT..." I think I am going to be rich....hahahaha.

Yep, Rebekah is the same way lately! We got a nice children's dictionary at the beginning of the year to help with homeschool, and now, since she has been asking all sorts of questions about what things mean, we have taught her how to sound out the words, and then look them up to figure it out for herself. It isn't a fool-proof method, but it sure has helped a lot!
