Paper Airplanes

Posted in Life with boys
I am so excited for Joshua, who is 6 and is the youngest of our 4 boys. Being the youngest, he is usually being told what to do, and why and how to do it. It is just his natural place in the family, rarely are the "babies" of the family the leader or teacher. But today was a little different. We are a VEFC family. VEFC stands for Virginia Emergency Families for Children www.vefc.org - we take in children in the community who need temporary emergency shelter. Anyway, we have a little 8 year old girl staying with us right now. Don't you feel sorry for her in our house full of boys!. Joshua was making a paper airplane (he says he is opening a paper airplane business so if you are in the market for one let us know!) and she asked him what he was doing. He explained it to her and she had never made one before! So, he proceeded to fold one to show her how. She tried a few times but he had gone a little fast in his demonstration so she just couldn't figure it out. So then he got each of them get a new sheet of paper and they folded them step by step together. It was so cute to hear "my baby" be the teacher. He was so good at explaining each step and waiting for her to follow. His little eyes shined, he was so proud to be able to teach someone else something so cool! And you should have seen his big smile - which is even more adorable now that both his front teeth have fallen out! What a great teacher he is!

Boys 'R' Us


We are a homeschooling family raising 4 boys in Virginia. This blog is mostly about anything relevant to raising boys or homeschooling in general - but every once in a while I can't help but add some nonsense from our daily life.

Quotes from the Boys

Josh: "Would you rather die or eat pizza for a year?" Um, let me think about that one!


Joseph: "Once I burped, sneezed, coughed, hiccupped, and farted all at the same time!" Now, only a boy could think that one up and think it is cool!
