Share a special home school memory this week.

Some days, I question whether I made the right choice to home school. Not really. It's just that there are days when I'm under the weather, or when progress is elusive.

Then, there are the moments when I see that we're both learning so much together, and truly enjoying each other company.

Today, on a field trip at the Museum of Natural History, my 9-year-old son taught me more than I thought I would ever want to know about prehistoric worlds. He was confident, engaged, and loving every moment. And, I was loving every moment with him!

Did you have any of those special moments this week?

Well, he has really blossomed in writing this last year, creative writing, and he just started a program called Writeguide. WOW! I am amazed at what a good writer he is, soooo creative, lively, and fun. Makes me smile to think about how far he has come :); ▶ Reply to This

Under his bed I found this really nice drawing of a lighthouse and the ocean and a boat. I asked him, who drew this? He seemed a little miffed that I asked, since he had drawn it. :) I was really surprised and happy that he can draw well, and that he chooses to draw when he feels like it.; ▶ Reply to This
