Looking back, last week was a really good first week of homeschool for both Fuller and me. Every day we were able to make it through whatever I planned. Only a few times did Fuller protest and only a few times did I feel unprepared.

Fuller is a child who loves routine and predictiblity. He still includes in his nighttime routine the “what are we doing tomorrow?” line of questioning. I found it interesting how after just a few days, Fuller now prefaces the question with “I know we are doing school tomorrow, but what else are we doing?”

I have been praying and thinking about my children’s education since before they were born. I have known I wanted to homeschool for at least the early years.

So when I talk to other parents or read other parent blogs, I usually hone in on the ones who homeschool and try to glean advice and methods from them. And as I have watched Fuller grow, I have been trying to discern his learning style, abilities, strengths, and weaknesses. As his teacher, I want to give him an education he will love and a thirst for learning even more.

So, as I plan our days and grab onto the unexpected teachable moments in our lives, I keep praying for our children’s education. And I look forward to seeing what else tomorrow brings.
