Today I feel so blessed...
I've been battling with the idea of homeschooling and wondering if I have the discipline and creativity to keep Maya enjoying it. Lately we've started our week days with either playgroup, library, or our simple homeschooling, and the last two mornings Maya has asked to do her writing books. Today I started to feel like I can do this and love every second of it. We do our little work books, sing some songs, talk about the days of the week and the weather, do a crafty art project, and then go outside. I have literally gotten zero house stuff done this week, but this afternoon while we were outside in the dirt and sunshine planting bulbs I felt like the luckiest person around. We live in a very small dome, don't drive brand new cars, we don't take tropical vacations, but today I felt so rich. As Maya called me "darling" and kept looking up to the trees when she heard birds chirping, I really don't think I could ask for anything more... Except maybe for this little boy in my belly to come out as sweet and smart and caring as my Maya...
