I’ve finally brought myself to say it…Jerome’s in kindergarten. We started doing preschool stuff in the summertime and now that the school year has started we’re doing school daily. I’m so hesitant to even say we’re “doing school” because it feels so normal and haphazard at the same time. I’m putting him through some workbooks that we’ve bought and some that have been given to us, we’re doing some learning games and reading lots of books, flashcards and crafts…and he loves it! This I have always considered the biggest step in my parenting career, starting school. But now I am learning that my friend was right when she told me “Homeschooling is a lifestyle.”. To find a lesson in everything, to teach him how to find the answers and how to learn, to understand that all knowledge comes from above…this is homeschooling.<\/p>\n

Here is Jerome showing me Brazil after reading an adventure.<\/p>\n

Seth loves tea parties! Well, both of my big boys enjoy tea parties. Sometimes I give them real tea and enjoy it with them! But when he doesn’t have any tea, like this morning, it’s only a pretend tea party.<\/p>\n

What a joy to be blessed with boys!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
