Wobbles

A couple of weeks ago I had a bit of a wobble about our decision to homeschool. We went Daddy's school reunion for starters. This is a beautiful school in a massive Victorian house set in 250 acres of woodland and grounds. The kids were lovely and there is a great Christian ethos. The secondary schools the kids go onto all say how you can tell where they come from as they are so considerate and caring of others and willing to lead. So should we be trying to find a school like this near us?

Then I was watching some of Mischief's little friends. One was colouring beautifully within the lines, another was writing her name. Have we made the right decision, would she be learning more, more quickly at preschool...

Then it happened. Mischief told granny how fossils were made. And all about magnets and polarity. 

Wobble over. 

So what if she can't colour on the line yet, who enjoys restrictions and conformity? She's enjoying expression and colour. 

So what if she can't write her name. She's got years to learn and can form some letters just fine. 

She enjoys what she enjoys and especially enjoys learning.
