As a fistborn RAISING my firstborn, I really want to encourage heart and attitude and not performance. It is so hard already as I am so proud of all the little things that Clara is learning to do, and I know that I will be mortified when she acts up in front of others later. I really need to take the long term approach. I totally believe in it in home schooling (you aren't trying to create a 2nd grader, but an educated adult), and I guess I will have to focus on it in character training as well. Are there any good books that have helped you do this? I love the "Raising Godly Tomatoes" book. It's available to read free online too! Thanks for that reminder on parenting.

But I am nothing to write home about as far as cooking. I taught kindergarten, and though I am no slouch in math, I already send my son out to get his math checked by daddy (and today had to call daddy in to explain a mass/volume/density chart. (very nifty chart about elements and such btw). I also have no idea what I am supposed to do with writing, so no being a teacher is NOT helpful in homeschooling!

(Just kidding....better you than me.) I will be happy to read about your marriage too. I'm so glad no one has perfect kids. Here's a question I get asked a lot, and I wonder if you do too. Do you think you are more qualified to homeschool since you have a degree in teaching? I usually answer no, and I try not to let my college degree interfere with our homeschool. Then I smile, and don't mention that I taught music, and here I am trying to remember enough about algebra and biology to help my daughter!

Our poor first-born... who is still a die-hard perfectionist. I am SO with you on the dreamy parenting of ‘perfect’ children. Our poor first-born… who is still a die-hard perfectionist.
