It\u2019s been a year of adjusting from a lifetime of homeschooling to public school (4th and 7th grade for my sons) and Junior College for my 17 year old (one more year of charter online homeschool for them, and 3rd year of co-enrolling in college courses). Frankly, I thought it would all be a lot harder. The kids have proven adaptable, and emotionally intelligent, which have been key in navigating new environs. <\/p>\n<p class=\"\">I\u2019m both surprised and not surprised. They wake on time, make their breakfasts, pack their lunches, and after a scuffle about socks, are ready to go before I am, typically. I\u2019m wrapped up in the bakery in those early morning hours, getting ovens to temp, feeding starters, scaling the mix and putting together dough while they take responsibility for themselves. As the year comes to a close, Gabe\u2019s finishing with Straight A\u2019s, Leo\u2019s working well with others and being a great friend, and Sophie is out there engaging in the community and making art, reading books, watching films, and writing poetry like life depends on it, and of course it does. I\u2019m proud of these humans. <\/p>\n<p class=\"\">It\u2019s also been a year of rediscovering my few extra brain cells that I\u2019m not spending in the deep and heavy work of teaching young folks how to read and do long division and interpret the world around us. I still do love to make time for a read aloud though. (Ocean Vuong with Sophie, The Outsiders with Gabe and Judy Blume with Leo)<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">Anyway, let\u2019s finish soft and strong in our heads and hearts. Everything we hope to strive for, tabled for a summer of stretching out in the long days in the sun. I\u2019ll leave you with this photo of Leo. Books falling out of his hands, clutching a skateboard, strawberry in the mouth.
