Homeschooling has its perks. I love being able to see my children's progress. Curly Girly's eyes glow with anticipation as we learn new concepts. She reads from the scriptures every night and she's at the point where we don't hardly need to help her anymore. I owe the credit to All About Reading.

Another thing I love is that you can get them started at any age. The Sprite has recently showed interest in coloring, like her big sister. I showed her how to hold a pencil while coloring and while she isn't doing it the best in the picture below, she's now holding it like an adult. She's 2! I see another artist in the making.
I'm not sure if we'll continue to do notebooking or not in this fashion. I love the idea of the 3-ringed binder with tabs separating the different subjects we cover. I think it will be fun for Curly Girly and Ferdinand to see their work that they've done throughout the year.
With a newborn baby, I've really tried to implement lessons on how important parenting is. Babies take lots of time and I hope that as they grow older, they will know how important a calling it is to be fathers and mothers. I'm not perfect, and I'm pretty sure my children know that, but the absolute best thing about homeschooling is that we get to learn and grow together. I love learning from my kids. The best lessons to be learned are from the mouths of babes.
