Like I explained in the previous post, the 4 older kids are doing various forms of online school/homeschool. I decided to take some pictures on their first day.
Sweet Joy is doing homeschool with some subjects online.
Andy is doing traditional homeschool, not online, but he loves to play minecraft (that's what he's doing in this picture)
BethAnne and Grace are doing great with their online school They sometimes struggle to find quiet places to get their work done and have their meetings, but they are getting great grades and keeping up with their challenging work.
The day before school started, I got the impression that Daniel should go to preschool this year. He just turned 3 in May, and there's a pandemic going on, so I hadn't planned on it. But the direction from the Spirit was strong and got stronger as I considered it. I called my friend Michelle and she had a spot in her 3-year-old class, so a few days later Daniel started Preschool.
One reason I didn't consider preschool is because Daniel has been attached to my hip for the last 3 years. He doesn't like to leave my side. He was never willing to set foot in nursery without us. I had serious concerns about him being able to go to Preschool and enjoy it, but I was completely wrong. He loves it; he talks about it constantly. Every day he wants to know if he can go to preschool (but it's only twice a week). Preschool has really helped Daniel be more independent, he's even willing to go to sleep in his own bed now. This experience has been a great example to me of how Heavenly Father knows best and if we feel directed to do something, it is for our good (and our children's good). I'm grateful for revelation.
