Today has been pretty awesome, I have to say. We had Stevi's Active Neighborhood Kids' Club this morning. It's this seriously awesome activity our Parks and Rec department had going this summer. The kids get to go play in the park with a big group of other kids for about 90 minutes, and they are doing awesome games. Games we used to play, like Red Rover (my wrists still ache when I think about that one lol!), Duck Duck Goose (awesome), Bubblegum Bubblegum in a Dish, etc.
She loves it. I love it. While she does it, I take the baby in the Moby Wrap and we walk around the park (it's about 3 miles if you go around 3 times). Baby falls asleep, Mom gets Me Time. Then I crochet while we wait for Stevi to get done. I'm working on a blanket right now, since Lando (our pit) loves to demolish ours. Jerk. Lol.
Then we got home, made and ate lunch together, and put the baby down. She isn't feeling very well today, I don't think. She's been asleep now for about 2 hours. Not usual for her. We have done Stevi's math today (we're working on currency), and I'm just about to sit down with her to read Chapter 5 in Charlotte's Web. We are then going to discuss Tenses (past, present, and future), and which one C.W. is written in. Then we'll talk about Author Point of View, and we'll discuss whether C.W. is fact or fiction. I'm so excited to be going through this journey with Stevi.
I met another homeschooling mom at the park today. It feels so nice to be meeting like-minded mamas who know how important it is to be integral in their child's education. I am so happy we made this choice, and while there are definitely days which are harder than others, I can't imagine sending her off to be without me all day long . . . Just can't do it.
On that note, have a wonderful day! I'm off to read with my baby! Oh, and then we're going to the library for a Fairy-themed story hour. Yep. Love this.
