Hi! Just found your blog today and had to comment. I’m also a first year homeschooler to 5 year old twin boys and their 4 year old brother. I also have totally enjoyed saying the pledge every day with them (ok, every day we do school…I need to get better about that!). It makes me tear up to hear them say it and to pray! Handwriting is also a struggle with us and I agree with you, I should have started them earlier. I let them write however they wanted before and now I am having to teach them the right way. Hope the rest of your year goes well and I look forward to checking out your blog some more!

I can relate to so much of this. But, mostly – how much I’m loving it, how blessed I feel to be able to spend all day with them, and how rewarding it is to watch them learn!

Loved this, Crystal!

I thought all along that this would work out well for you and the kids. But I am so thrilled that you are so pleased with how it is going. You are a natural teacher – and I have marveled at how much you were already teaching since your oldest was born Keeping you in prayer as you continue as mother and teacher.

With God all things are possible and the joy we find as we take any step of faith is beyond words. Being a mother is truly the hardest and most rewarding job I have ever experienced as well. I found that as I began homeschooling God opened my eyes to the deeper meaning of being a mother. Enjoy!

This just warms my heart. I think it’s great you’ve found the best schooling situation for your family and I know all your children will benefit from it immensely. We are so much alike in that I too, think our life would change drastically if I woke up earlier, but I have yet to find accountability in that department. My employer is entirely too flexible about what time I get to work!

I can only imagine the awesomeness of your son reading his first sentence and being so excited to call daddy at work. How totally cool.

Hope the handwriting comes along and I will be singing “Grand Ole Flag” in my head all day now! Haven’t heard that one in a long time!

I love that you are lovin’ homeschool! I had a feeling that you would. My favorite is the message your son left with his dad at work…that must have made his day!!
