Day 1864 | Homeschooling Update

Day five of homeschooling was another success. I have to admit [quietly] that I am enjoying this little experiment (most of the time). I think the boys are at the perfect age for this crazy, chaotic situation. As I said to a friend today, the boys are little enough that school doesn’t have to be super intense and overwhelming (for me as well as them). They remain each others’ best friends and can play happily for long periods of time. But they’re also old enough that they can function independently a lot and I can still work/get a breather in the midst of all the anxiety and stress that comes with trying to keep our lives moving along.

And truly, the boys have been total champs. They seem to really like our homeschooling schedule and are troopers for whatever I come up with for the day. Of course, they’re missing their friends and would probably pick regular school in a second, but we’re really hanging in there just fine.

I totally recognize how lucky I am.
