It Is All Worth It

I can't even begin to express how awesome it is to be able to witness your children learning every day! As a homeschooler you often wonder if what you are giving your child is a quality education, I must say for the first year I questioned myself a lot. But well into our second year as I see progress I know now that the one on one teaching is exactly what my Kiddos needed. Yesterday one of my Kiddos friends wanted to play so before we could even get started with school work I said sure bring him over, then I got the wild idea that we would call another friend with two homeschoolers and I would take them all bowling, it was a blast six kiddos the bowling alley to ourselves and then an hour of play back at our house, then I had parents come get the extra kiddos and we did our school work. I Love the freedom and the fact that our schedule can be more fluid. Late in the evening I caught my Sons 12 & 9 at the kitchen table my 9 year old was refreshing my 12 years olds memory on rounding :) I didn't ask them to do this, they just did it on their own. It is so exciting and makes my heart so happy to see this happening, especially at 9:30 at night. Today were working through a fun Dr. Seuss packet in honor of Dr. Seuss's Birthday this week and National Read Across America week. At one point my 12 year old was playing guitar, while my 9 year old voluntarily had picked up a Dr. Seuss book and was reading it out loud and my 6 year old Daughter was on my lap working on a Dr. Seuss character word find. I know these seem like really simple things but to see the goings on of my Kiddos and to watch them just picking up the things that they need to be doing without being asked or nagged is awesome. We kinda do our assignments in the order that we feel we want to do them on school days and on Wednesdays we add a history lesson they always want to do History first. All of my Kiddos Love History <3 It is great to see them loving learning, I hope their passion for learning never dies! Don't get me wrong their are days that don't go anything like you plan and you just have to let it go. When it's good it's good when it's bad it's bad!!!! Keep Calm & Mom On!
