Today is our first day of school. The children were fairly cheerful, and some downright excited, to begin their new workbooks. I hurried from one child to the next, listening to reading and answering questions.
My biggest challenge is how on earth to manage my two youngest children while helping the older ones do school. Lilly gets into almost everything, and is so quick and can reach so much. What a busy little girl! Judah behaves fairly well, but he gets bored when everyone else is occupied and he’s not. Sometimes he relieves that boredom by “playing” with Lilly, which often makes her scream, which then grates on my nerves, which in the end is not helpful at all.
Ahh, the joys of school.
