Rambling Thoughts before Dinner Preparation...

My baby (okay, he is five) has THREE loose teeth! Two bottom ones and one at the top. I don't think I can stand it...my babies are growing up too fast (yes, my constant refrain, but it's true!) . How I treasure each passing day staying home with them. I know not all mothers have the option of staying home or homeschooling their children even if they want to. My heart goes out to them. So yes, I'm very thankful. Like DD is weak from her bout of bronchitis and asthma (she is not out of the woods yet; please pray for her if you can remember) so school has been scaled back a lot the past couple of weeks. We are having fun though, watching our new Liberty's Kids DVDs (yeah, nearly 40 episodes, cool beans!) and reading up about the Revolutionary War (the library came to our aid as usual) although it's not part of her history this year (she did it last year when we did Mighty Works of God). Inspired, she is making a coloring book on the War for her brother. Then DD is also concurrently working on her ongoing WW2 Lapbook something else that is not in our Mystery of History curriculum. Home schooling is great! Each day I just ensure we do three things: Bible and Scripture Memory, Math and lots of reading. When we do these "core subjects', I feel we're pretty done with 'official school' and not stress over how much more we should or could have done. Usually we do much, much more than my "Core Three" though. If she was in public school I can only imagine how many school days she would have to miss each time her asthma acts up. With her at home, every day is an adventure in learning and loving for everyone. Developing a servant's heart is what we want in our children and ourselves and when you are home with the children, you either learn to serve one another or you learn to despise one another. We opt for the former. And oh, I'm now on Facebook. I had resisted it but had a few invitations and I know if I want to reconnect with several folks (especially my former students in Singapore- Auspicium Melioris Aevi!) I had to be part of it so I succumbed. Let me know if you are also there. :) Back to dinner preparation... |
