Cultivating the Colburn Kids

Sept 5, 2007
This week has been such fun! No, I have not gotten any grad school work done for my own classes, but that is what weekends are for, right? LOL! This week we started Jr. Kinder at the house with two little girls joining my own two mornings a week, along with a toddler (younger sister to a student). It has been such fun. We made applesauce Tuesday and today the kids were wanting to cook again! I decided on days when I teach co-op in the afternoons will be non-cooking days, otherwise with only six kids in the kitchen it is every so much easier to cook compared to working with my usual group of 12 at preschools. I am really appreciating the opportunity to devote myself totally to my kids and my students and not multi-task myself into confusion and chaos.
B has discovered cursive and I find this hilarious that after our years of him hating writing, now he enjoys it! Who knew all I had to do was get him to read Eragon, him become engrossed in ancient languages, and then find cursive on his own in a reference chart....all of that leading to his perception that cursive is like writing and ancient language! I look back upon hours of frustration just wanting him to write out his own last name, and all I had to do was bring out cursive! He really wants to learn another language and since hubby wants the kids to know Latin I might be looking into that soon.
Something is in the air right now that has people coughing and mucusy, not fun. I am still adjusting to the climate changes of living in this part of the US, understanding it is nearly impossible to predict when allergies will blow in. I am however, so grateful God has placed us here as grad school is phenomenal, each professor truly a gift of a person. I am also amazed at how refreshed I am by my classes and know that us homeschooling moms really do need to carve out time to cultivate our own hobbies or talents and I am really thankful my husband makes this possible for me to go to school.
