Today C completed 1st grade, and M finished Kindergarten.
I'm so proud of my little ladies! We finished ahead of schedule, because these girls kept begging to do more school!
Not only do I love having my children at home with me, but I truly enjoy teaching them as well. And I think they love it too! Last night I was talking with the Three Bigs about life, money, and priorities. I explained to them that I could go get a job. Then we would have more money, and I could buy them more toys, we could go out to eat more often, they could go to a "real" school, etc... I was overjoyed when they interrupted me with frightened voices urging me not to go to work. They exclaimed, "But I like being here with you. I don't want you to leave us. But you're the best teacher, Mom. I don't want more toys, I want you." Wow. What encouraging words.
I may not be the most creative, and I am certainly not the smartest, but I do have six little ones who long for their mommy. And that's work I will gladly perform, regardless of pay, regardless of the disapproval of others. Thank you Lord for providing such a great life!
Congratulations C and M!
You girls amaze me.
I am so proud of you!
