Schooling with a newborn is new for me. I’ve never had a baby in the midst of a school year. Tabitha arrived at the end of Stewart’s kindergarten year, so there was not a lot of pressure there. When Johanna arrived the end of May 2010 we’d already wrapped up the year’s worth of work.
But February is a different story… we’ve completed 27 of our weeks, which is nothing to sneeze at. But there are still a fair number of weeks ahead of us before we can call it done for the year. So we are improvising.
Since each of the kids have completed at LEAST 74% of their language work for the year we can drop down to two-three days a week each. This means I don’t have to keep as tight a schedule and we have time for things like diapers and feedings.
School doesn’t look the same as it did just a few weeks ago. What was normally conducted at the kitchen table is now being conducted, um, anywhere we can pull it off. Today, it was on the couch, with my lap serving as both bassinet and instructor’s desk.
My life is weird… but good!

What great pictures! (I've missed some posts lately…) School at our house was always interrupted by something (accidents, emergencies, sickness, vacations,…), but the year Ben was born we weighed him, measured him, and wrote about him. We turned him into school. :0)
