Hug and homeschooling

Here is my beautiful big boy who will be 5 in just 2 short weeks. Wow. 

A big thank you to the women who commented so kindly on my earlier post, and questions, about homeschooling. My apologies for not responding sooner. Originally, I was just sitting with their wisdom ... but then the earth shifted a little & a few dynamics changed & I made the sudden (I wouldn't have imagined even a week earlier that things would play out this way! It's strange how life has a special way of surprising us) decision to keep both boys home for the rest of the year. 

It was a big decision to make especially because Hug's time in the Montessori program has been substantially *life-changing* for all of us. A huge adventure! But we are going to embark on our very own big adventure now and I couldn't be more thrilled. I just think that he will enjoy some extra mama & family time & here is an opportunity to spend the next 6 months together. After he starts school in the new year we may never have this opportunity again & once I realised that I jumped at the chance. It gives me the opportunity to fulfill my homeschool fantasies for this little while & who knows... maybe we will love it too much to stop?!  Whatever happens, I feel like we're pushing a little boat out on the big river and we have a lot of unique time ahead of us.

I love you Hug.
