    • For those who care about such personal details...

    My 2 year old (Bridget) just got a new box of 24 crayons to color with while her 2 older siblings start homeschool today. She brought my wife the white crayon and said, "This one doesn't work."

    • Our first day of school didn't last terribly long as we do only have K & PreK. And, in good homeschool fashion, we'll be having "early dismissal" tomorrow so I can take the baby to her doc appt.  :smile:

    I think Bridget had the most fun of all, though. We got a random bag of clothes pins yesterday that were my cousin's garage sale leftovers, so we set her up a clothesline to amuse her while we worked.

    Note, the pins done correctly were not done by her. She was very proud of her work, though.

    • Cute kid. We all look forward to the day when your kids join CatholicInfo.  :cool:

    I was a little older on my first day of homeschool (I was in 5th grade, went to government school K-4th). I don't remember a whole lot about that day, but remember liking it way better than government school.

    I'm really curious about what Dominic is going to be like when he inherits the throne from his dad.

    • Hope the homeschooling goes well! I homeschool too, but I'm not all that good at it. Still, as GK Chesterton said, "If a thing's worth doing, it's worth doing badly"!
