It's been a week now, and every day the kiddo is excited to go to school. Every day she tells me tales on the way home -- tells me of the adventure she had that day. She's told her friends that she loves school. A subject that she had always disliked is now one of her favorites.
I'm happy for her, but sad for myself. I wonder if she would have always loved that subject had I not home educated her for the past eight years. Or did I just instill a love of learning that she wouldn't have gotten in a traditional classroom? That was one of my biggest goals, you know... to teach her to love learning.

Hey Jen, Congrats on the weight loss. It's been too long since I've seen you, I bet you feel great. I understand about letting our critters go. I want Sarah back home, but at this time, Public School is where she should be :( You take care.
Hey Jen,
WOW! Your baby grew up! Caleb loves school as well. Now if I hear about him screwing around at school, I just give him the "Do I have to homeschool you? threat." It's funny how it all works out in the end. Congratulations on your weight loss. I had a blog to track mine as well. Make sure you check out the before picture that starts in Sept. 06.

Jen - I vote that you did an excellent job of instilling a love of learning. Glad to hear how well she is doing in high school.
