"MOOOOOM...I'm not trying to be disobedient. I just don't want to do it."

"Ok. But why?...Ask yourself why."

"Cause it's boring! I don't even have to think to do this!

(On page 25 of the 1st grade math book...skips to 200 something)

"K. We'll what about this one?"

""This is better. At least it takes me a second."

How do YOU gage where your child is? Do you challenge them? Or do you let them show you exactly where they are?

So the kids had their first class of the summer! Art- focus in charcoal. They asked questions they tried without groaning. They were invited back...as this is an all adult class.

What are your plans for the kids this summer?

It's my privilege and honor to parent them. It is my ministry to parent them. It is my job to parent them. It is my joy to parent them... and parent them I will.

What's your goal with your babies?

So I was preparing her hair for school when she fell asleep...this child woke up and said,

"Well look at the time!"

And climbed in bed🤣

I'll be honest...
I didn't know how this was going to go. I wasn't certain what she would do as challenges in reading kept arising. Book one was hard. She muddled through page after page until it became smoother and quicker. Until she would recognize base words in an instant and build on them. Until she had questions about definitions, but not context.

I thought, "ok she'll finish this by the end of the school year." To my surprise and amazement, she kept pushing herself. She finished book 2 today. A total of 200+ pages between the two books. Books that weren't meant for a kindergartener.

"I'm gonna start book 3 today. Then I might finish it before I finish kindergarten." That's 107 pages by the 21st of May. She read 1 chapter (not page) today.

Moral...don't underestimate her. Keep up with her personal pace. Let her be a kid the way SHE wants. She wants to try, then let her try. She wants to slow down, let her catch her breath. She is running her race, and I am her coach, NOT HER LEGS!
