Our Home Learning Adventure

I truly believe that learning starts at birth and continues until the end. It is the most natural human endeavor, like love. In fact the two are so closely entwined! Freedom to explore and play, allowance to self-direct, and a wealth of exposure to all the wonders, minutae, and even ugliness of real life are what continue to nurture the drive and passion to learn that children are born with. What a joy it is to observe, participate and learn anew along with them!

First Snow!!! Yippeeeee!!



This morning Daniel and I woke up to the beautiful snow, sadly no pictures of the lovely sunshine.   Daniel was up and dressed and ready to play within minutes, and out he went.  We quickly decided to go join friends to play and hang out in coziness afterwards.  Daniel has definitely come a long way as far as getting into the fight, at first he really wanted to make sure he was on the right team, and wouldn't feel too threatened, but quickly, grew into the pure joy of aiming and ducking!  Later, when the kids went out again in the dark, a wonderful collaborative project of turning one of the giant snowballs into a sofa!  Gotta get a photo of that one.  Thanks guys for all the fun!



Daniel hides where the stash of pre-made
snowballs are in wait to ambush the adults!

Taken seconds before Daniel smacks J. in the face with a snow ball!  Ouch!  Sorry J.
