They Learn by Example

Most of our mornings homeschooling are somewhat disjointed because Katie Mei doesn't often play well by herself. She can be clingy and I usually have to interrupt preceedings with the older children to find activities to keep Katie Mei busy. But one particular morning in early April I was pleasantly surprised to find that she had come up with her own activity as she began setting the table for a meal with her bears. I thought it was darling so I grabbed my camera and began to snap a few photos of her going about her business. She invited me to join, but I politely declined, and she turned her interest back to her guests. I thought the entire event was just cute, until the end. Then it really hit me that even in the day to day grind, our little ones pick up what's really important.
