Now that we have been home for a month I'm trying to get into a rhythm that works for us. Course going more and more 'unschooly' isn't helping with the rhythm. So I'll settle for finding more activities outside the home and having a pleasant time when we are home.
Drama Queen is almost 5 1/2 and is really enjoying seeing her friends again and meeting new ones. She is much happier with all of us living at home than when the two kids and I lived at her grandparents' house with daddy visiting on weekends. That was tough. She has a glow about her now. DQ is now taking 2 classes - gymnastics and a fitness class. She is thrilled! She has definitely blossomed in the past 6 months and is willing to go off on her own for a fun class.
Action Man is enjoying the new thrill of 'games on the tv' as he calls the Xbox 360 and Playstation 2 games. He is lovin' the new toys he gets to play with when we visit friends' houses and seeing one long-time friend. Action Man will be 3 in May and is very physically active but loves a good book (particularly about anything with wheels!) or puzzle.
Finding a rhythm between home life and activities has been interesting. Being away for so long has left me struggling a bit, but it's so nice to see people we have missed. All of us are working on being personable again, though I see us needing our time at home to regroup.
Now we are off and running!
