Okay, so I've been thinking about doing the blog thing for a while now. I figured that the first day of homeschooling was as good of a day as any to start! That's right, I am a 'homeschool mom'. Wow... We even started the day with a celebratory trip to McDonald's for breakfast.
The first day went really really well with E -- better than I even hoped. He and I struggle sometimes -- I think maybe we're a little too much alike or something. When we worked on teaching him to read last fall, he had a hard time taking instruction from me, and we have an ongoing issue with arguing. But, not today. Praise the LORD ...I believe He is responsible for today's success, not me. We're obeying Him in this homeschool venture, so I'm relying on him for my success for sure.
It was, however, harder to deal with G this morning than I'd hoped and expected. He's normally a very content little dude. Some negative attention-getting attempts occurred today....
and then there's the whole potty training thing. Yesterday, it was a momentous day in which he, well....he pooped in the potty for the very very first time. Rock on. So I decided that since he CAN do it, he is GOING to do it. Today he has had one wet accident, and one incident in which he didnt' make it to the potty for #2, and well, Mommy lost it. Not a proud mommy moment. But it might have made an impression, as he did make a correct deposit later. I think we're going to get somewhere this time. I'm really sick of potty training....REALLY sick of it. We've got 15 days until his bday...think we can make it???
All in all, it's been a successful day!
