Finding Joy - Eureka moment

Eureka moment

I have had those moments in the past with my children....where you see their eyes light up and you realize the cloud has just lifted and they understand. It is a sweet thing, one of the reasons I homeschool...I would never let anyone else have those moments instead of me.....but usually they involve reading.

Yesterday's involved long division. Long division. My ds9 who only started reading basically this year but has been doing difficult math problems in his head since he was five....finally understood long division yesterday. He was excited, his eyes were glowing, his voice was breathless........over long division. Shaking my head on that one.

I just wanted to leave a mark to let you know that I've visited. =) I read through a few of your posts and you're not alone on the scrapbooking thing...I'm not a fan of it either. --Amy

My children become breathless over long division also but it isn't out of excitement :)
I love these moments too, I just posted the other day about the same thing with my 8 yr old.
