Moving on up
My children are growing up. It seems like just yesterday they were crawling around on the floor (well, Harold was...Charlie never crawled...he got up and walked at just barely 9 months old) pulling items off of the school shelves to 'work with'.
Now the school shelves are full of science equipment, art supplies and less and less manipulatives. Just this week, we finally moved the school desks out of the room and put in more book shelves instead. The boys would much rather do their school work on their beds, or the floor, or the sofa, than sit at their desks and 'work'. They never really did like that. They mainly used their desks for art projects (and clutter keepers.) But even then, the kitchen table was so much bigger!
So another phase of our school is gone. First it was all those colorful blocks, letter learning cubes, shape sorters and other pre-school learning apparatus, now it's the desks themselves. Soon I'll be working myself out of a job. But isn't that what mothering is about? Training our little charges to be soldiers in the army for the Kingdom of the Lord? Now they are about to be out there serving Him. One already is. The joys of motherhood *sniff*.
