Breeze

My view of homeschooling has changed in such a good way.  Things are just naturally coming easier.  I'm not expecting more from my children than they can give at 4 and 7 so the occasional battle over "school work" has changed.  I'm trying to change the vocabulary I use during the day too.  Changed "school work" to "seat work".  Nathan is seeing that it is only small segments at a time and he is really focused.  Now I also refer to all the other "fun" stuff as school too.  It's such a simple little change that makes such a big difference.  Zachary has been home several days due to the snow and he has been totally excited to do school with mom.  We are just going to breeze through the rest of this year.
