Our Little Ones

It is a challenge for a homeschool family to educate the children while the younger ones need constant attention.

Our 4 year old (since September) L, is doing preschool work and is doing very well. This is how she draws a picture of me:

This is how she writes the word "eight". I just think it's too cute how she writes her g's, and her e's are circles with a straight line in the middle. I love how she really dots those i's and they looks like little lollipops. 

L can spell many words, like the names of the people in her family. She is especially good at spelling Mommy, Daddy, and her own name. She writes them so well, I am so impressed! I can tell she will catch onto reading very soon, perhaps within the year, before she turns 5.

When we do our studies, J just crawls around and plays. He is quite curious as babies should be. But we've had to lock a lot of supplies away that once were out in the open. He is eager to grab anything interesting. This makes it a bit of a challenge for our day to go along smoothly.

The older kids love this baby though, they love to see him learn and explore and are eager to help him. Our oldest, W, set J up on the piano bench and let him pound on the keys. J LOVED it. He has a very serious look on his face in this picture, but he is enjoying himself. He is just a very serious baby.

We set up a Christmas tree in our school room. I hope to be able to make some fun ornaments with the kids when we take a long break for Christmas and New Years. 

Merry Christmas to all!
