Aug. 4, 2008 - Mondays On Mothering -- Take Me Out To The Ballgame
We are having a great time while we are on vacation! Tonight, we went to see the Columbus Clippers play baseball. My nine year old is the only one that remembers going to a game before; and she was pretty excited. She was singing "Take Me Out to the Ballgame" when we got up this morning and several times throughout the day. We did not stay for the whole game, as we left around 9 p.m. for home and bed... Still we had tons of fun! It was Dime A Dog night, so we had hotdogs, nachos, and sodas; and then shared peanuts and cotton candy with my sisters and their kids. I love taking my kids for special treats that we don't normally enjoy, its so fun to see how they make simple things special in their minds. Tomorrow night, we are going to enjoy Kids Eat Free night at a local restaurant, and then Wednesday we will head home to Daddy and our own beds.

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.
