Homeschooling, the Next Adventure

Before I even decided to have kids I knew I wanted to homeschool. I had a horrible experience with public school and wish my mom had taken me out. Honestly the only time I loved public school was kindergarten and the first grade. Other then that, the rest can shove it.

Today I spent a good amount of the day researching it. And we start tomorrow. Ryan is only 20 months so I will start slow. I just need to decide if I want to do a color of the day or a letter of the day, but my week is already planned. Monday he comes home late so I won't be able to start but on Tuesday we are going to the library and hopefully getting him a card. It's been years since I've been.

And if time allows it I want to take him to the "lake". I know we can have lots of fun there. Also, starting in June we will learn the number 1.

I really hope this is something Ryan will enjoy.

On another blog I read about doing a mini bucket list a week. This sounds like a great idea to have fun with Ryan and do something new a.d exciting each week. So for this week my mini bucket list looks like this:

1. Play inside a bubble.
2. Learn how to use glue and make something fun.
3. Read a new book every night before bed.
4. Feed a duck.
5. Have lunch at the park.
6. Go for a walk on a starry night.
7. Visit a friend.
8. Wear a matching outfit.
9. Take a random trip to the store and learn a new letter.
10. Bake cookies.

I can't wait to cross these off with Ryan.
