The First Bump in the Road

I have to admit that it didn't take me long to reach the first bump in the road. The kids were being good and all was gong well. Until we started Writing. Juggling three children on three levels of Classical Writing was just a little more than my sanity could take.  I think part of it is that Dancing Butterfly and I are learning it together as we go. The other part is just not being sure what we are meant to be doing on a day by day basis. the road map isn't as clear as I need it to be. I said I wasn't gong to worry didn't I. It wasn't the worry, just a feeling of needing to be three people to get this done. An even bigger feeling that this wasn't the fun experience that the progym sounded like when Dancing Butterfly was still little. Today with much prayer I discussed it with my girl. She was good, she was trying, she was gong to do what I asked. For my girl that is big. She also had a big grin when I suggested that something needed to change.  Today we cut back to one model - three kids, three levels in one discussion. We will do what we can at each of our levels.  I could think on the run. I didn't get interrupted. Einstein didn't bug me by listening to what his sister was dong. Creativity flowed, and so did the understanding of the story, the applications and the possibilities. Now all I have to do is look at what tomorrow is gong to hold. The last time I tried to tackle this without the workbooks we struggled to find our level. Hopefully I am older and wiser now. Then again my children are older and wiser too.
