Well, today began a new chapter in my little man's life.  Pickles (ds, Hayden) read his first book today!  We have been slowly working through Phonics Pathways this fall and he loves it.  So, I got out the Bob Books and he, slowly, went through the first title.  He is pretty excited for Daddy to get home so that he can read to Daddy. 

I never thought I'd be potty training and teaching him to read at the same time!  I have been reminded lately that we are truly unique and  yet bound together as the body of Christ.  I pray diligently that I may be a good steward of the little ones entrusted to my care and nurturing.  So, as we embark upon the printed world I pray that we conquer the potty, too.  In the end the goal is that my children will know Christ and be presented mature in Him...they'll get the potty....someday (hummmm)!

I'm new to the world of blogging but I've been out reading my way around the web for awhile.  I hope to keep my friends and family from all around the nation/world in touch with our little slice of the globe here.  My husband and I have two little ones, Hayden who is 3 and Kathryn who is almost 1.  I was previously an Early Childhood Educator who said she'd never homeschool (God speaks, we listen and learn to never speak in absolutes).  We feel like we have been homeschooling our children since they were born.  Our view of education is very wholistic since children are constantly learning and no more faster than during the first few years. 

Off to be productive...naptime is only so long and momma needs to drink at the well of God's Word.
