1. To argue with an 8 year old boy about some dinosaur facts...only to find out he was right the entire time!
2. To learn right along with my kiddos.
3. To enjoy re-reading my favorite books as a child...over, and over, and over!
4. To spend entire days on the floor, stairway, or under the table (aka: fort) doing school work.
5. To learn enough about bugs, dinosaurs, and sharks, that I feel I could have a degree in animal science.
6. That watching my children read their first words would be so amazing that I would be reduced to tears!
7. That our mental health day trips (spur of the moment trips on days when school and life are just not working) would turn out to be some of our best memories.
8. That laundry, cooking dinner, visiting grandparents, camping, fishing, and enjoying a day at the museum, all count as learning!
9. Our time spent outdoors would be just as, if not more, important that the academic lessons.
10. I never imagined how my children would bond, as they spent each day together learning, arguing, playing, and loving each other.
11. The talks that my pre-teen daughter and I would have because of our choice to homeschool.
12. The enjoyment I would get out of teaching my children and watching them learn.
13. That I would have to earn a science degree to fulfill my 9 year old son's thirst for science.
14. The videos we would watch all in the name of homeschooling. And the amount of information we would learn form those.
15. That we would end up trying every method of homeschooling there is.
16. That I would end up planning unit studies complete with awesome field trips and activities.
17. The amount of cuddle time we would have as a family for reading.
18. The wonderful discussions the kids and I would have over lunch.
19. The way (some) family and friends would reach out to be involved with or help our homeschooling.
*20. I never dreamed homeschooling would completely change my life, forever. And that I am truly thankful for.
