I thought I would share a few pictures from our Birthday celebration last night. My oldest son turned seven years old. He started out the day by picking breakfast -- race car waffles by Eggo. He also picked lunch, Bacon sandwhiches, and supper -- eating out at Famous Dave's. We don't always eat out on birthdays, but Thursday night is our normal eating out night, so we let him choose. He got out of all chores for the day, didn't have to do school, and got to use the It's Your Special Day plate all day. Finally, we wrapped up our celebration with presents and a Jet Fighter cake on Star Wars plates. I believe it was a good day. Happy Birthday precious boy!
Did you notice I left off the d??? I didn't notice, not a single member of my family present at the party noticed, but my sister sure did notice when she saw my blog. Got a good laugh out of that one!!!
That's so funny that you didn't notice! I thought you were being funny putting it on here. It is a beautiful cake though! :) Very fun! He's getting so old! I thought he looked all older when painting too. They're just growing up!
The bottom line is; We try not to insist on parent-led learning or gravitate toward child-led learning. We try instead to focus on God-led learning and ask for His input and perspective on every aspect of our home school. That way, when others fuss about what Dan and I are doing and make me second guess our decisions -- I can go back to our decision process and find God's fingerprints, reminding me that this is His way.
