On the Agenda this week

At the Illustrious Free-Range University of the Sisters, this week we are studying:

Biking! We put the magic bell on two days ago and off she went, ringing all the way. No fear, just love for the crazy fast wheels, and the brake. She must have biked a mile yesterday. I’m just thrilled that she loves it.

Potty Time! She waddles into the bathroom every ten minutes to sit. No luck yet, but I’m proud of her determination. I decided to try again this morning after she peed in her diaper and started crying, saying, “I peepee in potty!!! Wanna peepee in potty!” She gets it, she really does. Now to make that body work for her . . .

Bloom did a nice piece on why she homeschools her 4 kids. I’m looking forward to future installments and encourage anyone on the fence about it, or curious about it, to check her blog out. It’s lovely. We get the, “Is she in school yet?” question about five times a week. Sometimes I just say, “Yes, in our own way,” because truly she is. If you define school as a place to learn, we are all in school, in our own way.
