Teacher Mommy what are we going to do next? Asked Ellie tonight. It's been so fun! Tomorrow is the end of our first week of "school". She has had such a fun time learning. Mon and Tues I taught her during the boys naps. On Wednesday we had friends over until 2:30 so I had her take her rest first and then we did our lesson. Today we got home from errands and a swim date at 3pm ... Mommy was exhausted so I put both kids in their rooms and we all crashed until 5. After dinner Ellie and I did her lesson together. It was so fun and she was so excited to do each activity! The best part for me is not being stuck to a set time. I like how flexible schooling can be!
On another note, I am really treasuring this time with Elizabeth. As we took a shower tonight, I held her in my arms while the water poured down on us and I really felt like I have the potential right now to really draw near to my little girl and develop a relationship that will get us through any rocky times we may have ahead. She looks up to me right now and as much as I can I want to learn to love, cherish, admonish, train and teach while learning to not exasperate and frustrate her. I know that I can be harsh instead of firm & loving at times and I'm asking the Lord to keep that part of me in check.
This new season we are in is amazing!!
