As I write my end of the school year homeschool assessment for C there is a hint of bragging in my words. Its supposed to be a basic, formal, clear & concise little paragraph, and I started bare bones, but got a bit gushy. I said things like his love & understanding for math grew & continues, and history came alive for him with the study of Abraham Lincoln and the Wright Brothers. Ill stop there otherwise Id just keep writing my whole assessment here. What I was really doing was documenting and proving to myself that I did it, by God's grace I did it. I taught my boy and I think he learned a few things too & even enjoyed it at times as well. Im proud but sad. There were tears some day & some days were wow and others not so much, but we made it one whole school year. I know for you homeschool super moms thats not much, but for me it is. Im going to miss it and miss him as he's headed back to public school in the fall. He's headed back to school school and not homeschool. He's a social little guy and loves people. I think its for the best, and he wants to, but Im going to miss him during the day & watching his face light up when he's learning & just the time shared, that precious time that was ours to fill with knowledge and wonder and love. Maybe its hitting me harder as my other little guy E. will be giving kindergarten a try at public school in the fall too. Thats all but so much more, right? All but more. The big moments, the little things, sometimes they just hit you, and thats that. Life. Kiddos. School. Love. Love. Love. Live. And Tell others of Jesus' love too. And Thats that.
