There are times when I am unsure that I am following the correct path with our homeschooling. Then I take a closer look at my children and realize that we are moving along smoothly. When ABM had to take me to the doctor recently, M amused herself in the car by using subtraction to figure out the birth years of various relatives. This was great practice in borrowing and carrying, one of her weakness. I'm also excited about C1, who hasn't entered kindergarten yet but read her first small book this week. C2 isn't quite at the same level as her twin, but she is so enthusiastic about learning that it is a joy to teach her.
