A better start...

Today had less dramatics but was still an interesting day as we figure out how this new schedule is going to work. Emily is a great sleeper, so being able to wake her up each morning has been helpful. We started our school day with all three of the kids doing the devotion...Adam reading the scripture, Ryan asking to play the Wii and or trying to tell me a spider man adventure, and Emily bouncing in the loud saucer (which we will have to change out of the school room). It was picture perfect or at least a picture! We did manage to memorize the scripture from yesterday Romans 6:14 “Sin shall not have dominion over you, for you are not under law but under grace.” It was awesome to see how excited Adam was to master his first verse for school.

The highlight and quote of the day was when I asked Adam to open his Spelling book and start on page 2...he looked at it and his eyes got big and with a great sigh he tells me "uhh this looks like a….Kindergarten book”, (pause and then goes on to say) “actually I think some pre-school kids could do this." We both just looked at each other and laughed out loud!!! We skipped ahead a few pages and did some more challenging tasks but it was great to see and hear him speak boldly about what he knew. I look forward to many more fun filled quotes from the boys. Each day of this week will be a challenge learning how to manage the kids at such different stages while still engaging each of them in a fun way.
