It goes by so quickly! Right? It's said to us again and again as mothers, but oh my heart--its so true. Here are my youngest four sitting together playing Candy Land. My four year old was astatic. This will be a memory burned into my momma heart. My C is leaving for college this week. Spontaneous play sessions with these four will be few and far between, left for holiday visits and summer breaks.
I swear it was just yesterday he was trudging off to kindergarten and just a few minutes ago we started homeschooling (he was in 2nd and M was starting kindergarten). When we first started homeschooling I honestly thought I'd do it until middle school. I gave myself permission at the end of each year to send them into public school. He graduated homeschool in May this year. We did it. He and I figured it out. He finished strong. I was able to give him what he needed to graduate and get a high score on his ACT, accepted into his college choice, and with a number of scholarships.
I honestly didn't think I was enough--not smart enough, not organized enough, not focused enough, but no one and I mean no one cared more than I did. How horrible as a public school child I didn't feel smart enough to homeschool my own child? I mean not even at the early elementary age. Both my older kids have said they hope to homeschool their children and neither have expressed any fear in not being enough. Shouldn't any child who graduates feel like they know enough...
