Little boys with shaggy hair

and some beautiful kid voices too!

Changes.

I could watch it a hundred times :)

Riley woke up...

with a fascination for monkeys. I mean Gorillas and Chimpanzees.

He came down from his room and decided to tell me all he knew about the animals. He was certain that chimpanzees were 6 feet taller than gorillas. So we did a little research :)

Our findings below.

Mr. Gorilla

The gorilla is the largest primate, weighing as much as 275 kg (600 lb).

Mr. Chimp


SIZE: Standing approximately 4 feet high, males weigh between 90 and 120 pounds, while females weigh between 60 and 110 pounds.

Life Long Learning

When Riley popped in to my world about 4 years ago, I often pondered homeschooling. It seemed I would think deeply on the topic for months at a time and then the thoughts would find a place in the back yard of my brain hiding away for a while. It did this on and off tell about six months ago when it came back full force and for good. I can not get the darn thoughts to go away. So instead of pushing at them and hiding them or covering them up. I let them dance around in my head. I followed the voice that shared these opinions in my thoughts and heart. I researched high and low the topics of homeschooling, unschooling, lifelearning and the list goes on and on. There were nights when I did not sleep because I wanted to find more about all the alternative learning styles. I decided at least for the time, that with my family and hubbies support, that I will jump in head first and give teaching my children at home a shot.

So here I am now. Sitting in bed, not able to sleep. I'm reading over here and come across this. But this part here is the part that makes my heart full, it brought tears to my eyes (really it did). These are the words that make me feel like I am capable. Like I can teach my children as any other teacher might, but just maybe - even better.
