I thought I would post a small update about how things are going in our home school. Understandably, I have been very busy with a newborn and a toddler, so there has been some slacking here and there. Mostly I just want to note how great of a student W has been. He is getting so much better at not complaining and doing his work and paying attention. He blesses me with this.
While our children are small, since the schooling is mostly on me, we are considering online schooling. We have to a bit more research to do for both of us parents to be comfortable with whatever the choice is. For now, I feel like I'd rather keep doing things the way we are doing them than to pay $2,000 a year for some of these online private schools I have been looking at. And honestly, I think Utah Virtual Academy sounds attractive and worth a try. If we tried it for a year and it was a waste (which I can't imagine it would be a total waste), then it's okay because W is so far ahead academically anyway.
I am trying to work on making time to teach our 2 year old, E, to read and write. I have worked only a little on her. It's just hard with all the other responsibilities.
Homeschooling is a lot of work. I hope to make it work as good as possible and not have too much burden on me with all my other roles in life, (mother, wife, church service, etc.) I refuse to be stressed, I am quite aware of what it does to me.
