So, I think we’ve found our groove. this week has been especially enjoyable and has just flowed. I have not been reading about unschooling AT ALL for a few months, I am trying to rid my mind of expectations and just follow the interests of the boys.
As a result of ‘fallen behind’ in the blog and have not been keeping notes on things as much as I would like. I seem to forget things and the kids aren’t really wanting me to pause to write notes or follow them around with a video camera.
We are just doing a lot of play, Alex is not wanting to do much organised stuff outside of his sporting interests so suggestions of things like Artplay workshops are refused. Though we have joined a science club which Alex is loving. We have also quit swimming lessons, but he still like to go for a swim with us. Unfortunately I haven’t been able to take him much because Daniel has had some issues with his ear.
So overall I’m feeling quite happy with our life. I’m ever conscious of financials and we’re making a greater effort and not buying food when out as that seemed to be a huge expense.
Finally we are now officially registered as homeschoolers, seems like a timely coincidence for us to be feeling so positive about it all.
