I LOVE HOMESCHOOLING!!!! I mean it...I really do. There is nothing like being with these little people all day long, and having the priviledge of teaching everything from "where babies come from" to "what is 2 plus 2" . I especially have enjoyed watching my oldest children grow so much in their ability to think things through logically and to question why people are the way they are. I like watching them as they try to figure out what the right thing is, and what to do about it. I get truly excited when they pick the upright and moral way, or stand up for injustice, and speak out for those who have no voice. My children are all brilliant in their own unique way. The best part of having more than two children, is that I get to teach the same things again and again, but to different people. Harrison is learning the same things that Ellie learned and Chloe learned and Tucker before that. Charity will come next, and believe me, she will have more than one teacher. The super deal with homeschooling, is that once one of my children masters something, they can't wait to teach one of their siblings everything. Ellie will no doubt catch on to multiplication tables easier this year because she has already been memorizing them - thanks to Chloe. I get tickled when I hear Ellie teaching Harrison the correct way to pronounce his letters, and Harrison is in on it too. He is making it his personal goal to teach Charity to walk... So, maybe homeschooling isn't always easy. Some days we don't accomplish much. Some days we skip altogether when Charity ends up unexpectedly in the hospital. Sometimes, I have a headache, or everybody is sick. Some days I feel discouraged because NOBODY IS LISTENING TO THEIR TEACHER!!!!! But, thankfully those are just some of the days :) Most of the days, we learn a lot, more from each other than our books. Most of the days, we pray on the couch for our country, for our family and for people who need Jesus. Most of the time, we are delighted to be together, and I'd choose homeschooling again and again. Maybe it isn't for everyone, but I'm glad it is for me!
