I have dealt with writing and reading as two different things as well. It really is best, as it seems very few are on the same level, and it only holds them back in one area. I am now seeing the two levels begin to even out as their skills grew. My only tiny piece of advice is to still get him to read aloud once in a while, or read something aloud to the family once in a while. I didn’t do that with my oldest and it was very very hard for her to start reading aloud again. But I find she suddenly has a great desire to read things to us as a family. So now we call that ‘public speaking’ hehe

Reading out loud is the bain of many children. Do, however, check to see if he understands what he is reading. Ask him questions about what he has read. That’s the best way to see if he has issues. Reading aloud is fluency of language. Comprehension is understanding what you read.

Marble floors are beautiful but lethally slippery when wet. Be careful! I think the red sounds beautiful and bright and can’t-miss-it welcoming.

I love the rambles too. Try not to fret too much about the red floor, surely over time it will fade?
I recently painted a table blue, a beautiful, eye jarring, look at me, bright blue. I finally splattered it with white paint and now I really truly love it. It just needed taken down a notch.

You know how I had the stucco on my house painted red and said I loved it. I grew to not. So I just painted it over. Luckily, I had leftover shingle paint paint. Now the whole house will be beige with white trim. Although I did leave red as an accent on the porches. If you don’t like your red floor, why can’t you just repaint it? Although, it sounds lovely and it does have good symbolism.

We love the ramble. The pig killing thing is gross to say the least, something we heard in the Philippines when they slaughtered their pets/projects there.

Red floor eh? And do you have marble floors in your house now? Marble floors can be beautiful. I was looking at some homes for rent in Chiang Mai and noticing how beautiful the marble floors were.

Any more pictures????
