Winston read aloud from start to finish this
the reading level is 2.5.
I looked in to this and this relates to the grade in an american school.
so for this one book he can read at the level of a 7.5year old

Winston reading and maths
Winston read from start to finish out loud "512 Ants from Sullivan Street" about 3 days ago.
Today at the table he way playing with multiplication blocks going through every one and checking the answer and the sum.
And he learnt to build a tower carefully with wooden blocks - Thanks to Mary.
We have Mary, Gronja and Osheen staying with us through airBnB this month. Couldn't wish for better guests.
Winston learnt to ride his bike today
Caroline bought a stick to attach to Winston's bike so we could take off the stabilisers, but it didn't fit so I took him to the play park without stabilisers. For the first two or three times I held him from behind under the arms. After 3 goes, he went a few meters on his own. Then he went a few more and crashed and hurt his keg a bit, but he was straight back on to have another go. A few more first and he could stop safely. A few more goes and he could start without help if it was slightly downhill . On the way back, he rode the last 100meters completely on his own, including going over a speed bump and turning in to the gravel drive and stopping safely. Amazing to see learning at high speed like that.

Recent news
Today Winston and Henry went to hindAS montessori from 8:30 to 1:30.
Yesterday I went to have a chat with Anna-karin about Henry. He is getting along fine. She said he likes building stuff, he likes watching the older children, he stores food in his cheeks when they eat, he is not very interested in drawing, he is reasonable, he likes the songs and tries to do the actions or watched the older kids.
Today after Davis, I took them to oppnaforskolan, I stayed for about 10 minutes then Caroline came and I went home. After I went to meet them and Caroline tried to go home, but Henry got upset, so she took him with her. I pushed Winston in the pram while running the other way. When we got back, we couldn't persuade Henry to go to tempo. In the end Winston played angry birds in the office and I pushed Henry on the garden swing a few hundred times. He thought it was really funny to crash in to me and when I said ow, he said sorry, or sorry didn't mean it.
Then Winston and me played a little bit of what a performance., good counting and reading practice. We have started showing the word carfax to Henry again.

Thursday
Henry was wide awake at 6am, so we went downstairs. I worked with some new product pictures, and Henry sat next to me and watched Pingu, some train crashes and the wheels on the bus on you tube.
After breakfast Caroline took them to Hindås Montessori at around 8:30.
When I went to collect them at 1:30, they were both at the gate. Annika (a teacher) said they must have an internal clock because they go and play near the gate exactly on time.. (better not be late then!) Annika said that Winston had been playing the plus-minus game all morning, 3 games with her and 3 with Suzanna (another teacher).. and Winston just told me that Hilma was playing too.
Henry fell asleep in the car on the way back, and Winston played racing games on my phone. Henry stayed asleep for about an hour and a half and Winston carried on playing games. me and Linka watched TV for 45 minutes.
When Henry woke up, I took them both to the Library to pick up some tickets for a play tomorrow. It took about 2 hours to get there and back via Tempo.

Monday
Winston and Henry went to Hindås Montessori today from about 8:30 to 1:30.
After that Caroline took them to Ikea to get some stuff for the house.
Winston went in the play area there for about 30 minutes.
Henry shouted E'O Daddy when they got home.
Winston was on the tricycle and Henry wanted it. Winston wouldn't give it to him, Henry accepted that pretty quickly. I played Marbutopia with Henry in the library.
Winston threw some of his food on the floor at dinner, so we told him to get down from the table.
Henry went to boob to bed with Caroline after dinner, and WInston came downstairs with me. He sat on the potty for ages playing a racing game, and then got in the bath. He washed his hair a bit, but without any shampoo. After that we played a chef memory card game for about 15 minutes before he brushed his teeth himself and went to bed.
Winston can put his own trousers no now.
