I wish I'd have known this starting out. I wish I'd have known that it's actually LESS work to just homeschool your child, than to be an "involved parent" at school.
We've enjoyed elementary school with our older boys. *Most* of the teachers were actually pretty competent and caring (the others, I save for another blog post, another day...). We had the children involved in extra activities like the Spanish Club or Service Club, or choir, and they got a fair bit out of the experience.

ReplyDeleteThat is certainly a Kodak moment! Thanks for sharing it! We need all the smiles we can get these days!

ReplyDeleteLove it!!
ReplyDeleteSo cute! My son Christian used to fall asleep in the funniest places when he was little too. We have several pictures of him asleep under one of our endtables. My favorite was when he fell asleep with a full tummy in the middle of a meal also.
ReplyDeleteAwwww, he's precious! One sleep kiddo!
