As I tucked the boys into bed the other night, I reminded them that Spring Break would be over soon, and that they would be heading back to school on Monday. I asked them if they were happy to be going back to school.
Noah quickly said, “Yeah! I’ll like to see all of my friends.”
I think that I felt my shoulders shrink down and I looked at Eric with a worried look on my face.
“Now, don’t even do that,” he chided me. He then continued to the boys, “Mommy worries that you won’t like homeschooling.”
“Why wouldn’t we like it?!?” Jack asked, as if I had suggested that they might not like chocolate.
The next morning, one of the first things out of Jack’s mouth was (with a smile on his face), “Do you know what I will like about homeschooling, Mom? I’ll really like that people won’t bring in dogs and cats to show and tell like they do at regular school sometimes.” And, then he just sat grinning at me.
I couldn’t help but smile back at him. I knew that it wasn’t just random that he told me that. It had probably been rolling around his six year old head all night, just waiting for morning to remind me that they are excited about it.
