Today while my sons did their homework, I found myself warm and fuzzy with tears welling up in my eyes. The reason why - I love homework time. I love listening to them sound out words, spell, read their beginner books and oh boy do I love watching their precious little hands use a pencil.
Both boys are bringing home books to read now. Sam started over a month ago and is ready to bring book 5 home this week. Toby brought his first book home Friday and he is proud as can be. With these books also comes extra homework of reading them and completing the comprehension and spelling sheets - even over the weekend. Bring it on!
This is an amazing time in their lives. For me to be able to stay home and have un-rushed time to encourage and focus on their education is the best gift. Getting to help in the classroom and be a part of their excitement -fills my heart with joy. Taking photos of their little hands hard at work a perk.
I am lucky and I am grateful.
