I guess God just planted the idea in our heads and it went from there. I know why we homeschool now though - it's not that the schools are so bad (though there is SO much going on there I don't agree with) but it's that homeschooling is so GREAT! Learning along with my kids, spending time with them, those are the primary reasons I homeschool. With Ben being a teenager, working or out with friends often, I wouldn't get to see him nearly enough if we didn't homeschool.<BR/><BR/>I sent Ben to PS for K and 1st, so I didn't get the privilege of teaching him to read, can't wait to do that with the girls!Eileenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16702528111724344152noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27617218.post-89843095468162202762007-08-07T15:29:00.000-05:002007-08-07T15:29:00.000-05:00I LOVE your blog.

We have also considered this route for Olivia; I just don't think I would have the patience or motivation. What a blessing though that you can see firsthand the maturity in them through the years with homeschooling.<BR/><BR/>By the way, Olivia was fine on the ride home from TN. Had I not pushed fluids so much we definitely would have had a problem.

Caroline needed attention too and Peter was bored and dying for playmates to come home from school. He is excited about starting school (and our local one was checked out thoroughly by me!) We will do that until it is no longer working and then we will go back to homeschooling since Caroline will be schooled too.<BR/><BR/>I do think I will be praying for him a lot more now that he will be in school and out of my care for a few hours a day.<BR/><BR/>TeresaAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10014999447222122396noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27617218.post-71920278749424998492007-08-06T10:23:00.000-05:002007-08-06T10:23:00.000-05:00I have 12, 10 and 3 1/2 year old boys!
