Fun with Homeschooling
Okay, you guys, even though some days are super tough this homeschooling thing can be so much fun. I totally thought we’d kill each other but it’s been really nice to have Daniel around. I like him around so much that I feel bad Brett isn’t here more.
(Brett does not want to be here more.)
Today was one of those days I realized how nice it is to see him more. See, he wants his friends over after they get out of school, so guess who is extra super special on top of his schoolwork? While he is working hard on math (for once), he looks up at the television that is on super low volume and just kind of running because we forgot about it. I’m working, he’s working, no one is paying attention. Until this moment, anyway.
Daniel says, “MOM, CHANGE THE CHANNEL IMMEDIATELY. DO NOT LOOK AT IT.”
Uh, okay? So I do and ask that the devil that was about. He tells me that Andrew Zimmer show was on, the “Bizarre Foods” one and with my queasiness at wads and slabs of meat products, he didn’t want me to accidentally see anything there.
Awwwwww.

That’s very sweet. Let me know how this homeschooling this goes. I might take that route myself.
Hey – have you done any “readings” lately?

Hey, Phoenix!
No, not recently but I still have the cards :)
We’ve been homeschooling since April and it’s working. Really working. My son who wouldn’t do homework no matter what, who was utterly failing, actually was excited about math yesterday. I have been falling off my chair about once a week with the progress he’s made (LATIN! JAPANESE!) and he’s so much happier. If I had known this, I would have pulled him out of school when he was miserable kindergartner.

Welcome, Annie! I’m so glad you do, too. I never realized how good this could be until we did it.
Lindy, we loves you!
