Random Ramblings from the rebels

Jun. 29, 2007 - Learning colors...

While I nursed Parker this morning, Aaron, Rock and Mag were playing with math manipulatives. I overheard Mag say that she was the teacher and was going to teach Aaron his colors. He started matching up the bears with the right color cup. Mag said "great job Aaron you are putting the red ones in the red cup and the blue ones in the blue cup". She began asking him what color he had each time as he put it into the cup. I kept hearing him say "balooloo". After several times, I thought for sure the blue ones were all in the cups by now, so I turned to look. He was matching them all up correctly, but every bear no matter it's true color was "balooloo".

Welcome to my blog! I am Kelly, better known online as mom2rebels. I'm homeschool mom to Birdman age 7, Mr. Astronaut age 6, Chickie age 4, Zigity age 2 and Punky born May 21st...together they are known as "the little rebels". So, why do I call my children rebels? Could they possibly be that bad? Well of course not, I have some of the most wonderful children in the world (in fact I'd say the best, but don't wanna offend anyone that may think their children worthy of the title)! Like all children there are certainly times when they are rebellious, some of my children more than others. It all started a few years ago when a friends young adult son began calling them "the little rebels". Later, the more I thought about it, the more I liked it. Yes, I want to raise my children to be rebels. Not in the negative sense, bucking authority and following their own wills. I want them to be rebels in a different sense of the word, I want them to learn to follow the Lord with all their hearts and to rebel against that which the world has to offer. I want them to swim against the flow of modern culture and seek to be a people set apart.
