I had a feeling you guys might end up pulling him out :-) It's sometimes the hardest thing in the world to trust ourselves isn't it? I'm glad this part gets easier as they get older Thanks for commenting Chloe!

Letting go of the things society says that you "should" be doing in order to have a healthy, happy child. My big "should" this year was homeschooling both of my school aged children. My 9 year old has been thriving for the last three years in a homeschool environment. This year my 5 year old started Kindergarten. I sent my 5 year old a total of 2 weeks to public school. And why? Because I fell pray to the "shoulds" that most well meaning people place on others. I thought..."Oh, well he will get a good foundation then when he is ready in about a year or so I will pull him out..." DUH! A good foundation starts at home. I am happy to say my 5 year old is enjoying his curriculum AT HOME, and we are adjusting quite well to handling two age groups at once. All of my well-meaning friends, and some family members too balked at the fact that I would be homeschooling both. Well we have proved them wrong once again! There is such a relief, and a release when you can get rid of things that complicate and clutter ones life. This is always a big thing for me.
