Looking back at old post...

i have been going back through some of my original post from a couple of years ago. i ran across this and had to share it - SO funny- it was from the end of 1st grade or the beginning of 2nd grade (Abby) :

"I thought that I would, again, share with you the paragraph that Abby wrote. She went to Christi's house one day for "school" and I asked her to give Abby the first sentence and to have her do some "free" writing....Here's what we got-

"One morning I took my favorite stuffed animals outside for tea. I said, 'Would you like some tea?' But no one answered. So I asked again. But everyone was quiet. Then I yelled at my stuffed animals and everyone said, 'Yes.' "

So...for those of you who want to homeschool because you want your kids to have great memories of what a patient & kind mother you must have been...sacrificial and self-less....never answering in a harsh tone...

Rethink it.

Bwahahaha!

So true.

My three year old is constantly scolding her dolls and putting them in time out.

Ugh. Is that all she'll remember??
