I really enjoy having an opportunity to share some of the "Skolna" or cool things I know. They've watched a few of my favorite movies with me and as long as they aren't too dialogue intensive (which they seldom are) they lock in and watch. Afterwards, they may try out some new fighting moves or reenacting a scene, but that's to be expected.
The boys, as I've mentioned, like to fight and I'm much more open to them doing that than Pam is. I realize that they are just doing it for fun and it burns off some of their energy. Riley is bigger, faster and stronger than Jake for now, but Jake can take more punishment than Riley too. In another year or two, Riley will only be able to say he's faster. At that point, he's got to hope that faster is good enough or Jake will pound him. I've warned him a few times that the day is coming when Jake will be bigger than him. He disregards it - there is no way his "little brother" will ever be bigger than him.
Riley is really coming along with his English and learning to read very quickly. Since starting preschool, Jake's actually finally started to use English. He's picked up so much in such a short time, it staggers the mind. He was understanding a lot before, but now he's also saying it. The other schoolwork is going to take some time. Riley's math and spelling are far less than perfect, but we are working on those.
