diphthong

felix's homework for today is all about "ei, i, lei". it took us almost an hour to finish reading pages 11 and 12 of his lesehefte b. he is good in reading, no doubt about that. but he is easily distracted. like, after reading the first sentence on page 11, he realized that he was hungry. i tried to talk him out of it...we'll finish reading one page and i'll make him a sandwich. but no! he's really hungry! okay.

i told him that he can't read while he's chewing his food. so he bit, chewed and read...bit, chewed and read...at times, he bit, hid under the table while he chewed his food, i had to call him back to earth, and read...he bit, realized he was thirsty, ran to get a glass of water, came back to the table and read...bit, went to the toilet(he sang while he's in the restroom), went back to the table and read...cuddled with Scott and read...argued with me because he already read that sentence and i asked him to read it again, and read it anyway...asked me what time his dad will be home and read...

when it was all done after so many breaks and excuses, i felt more relieved than he was. åh! i finally breathed in air!
