Today is our half day/birthday celebrations for Biggest Boy. We usually do science lessons on a Wednesday, so that’s what was on the schedule today.
…only this is what today looks like…
This doesn’t stop us learning science (the boys are doing that at the moment), but it was an opportunity to drop everything, when the storm first hit, and get out the paper and pens. They found a space on their own, closed their eyes, and listened… opened them again and gazed… and then wrote something down. Two beautiful poems, both completely different – I have two completely different boys!
I love having the flexibility to just drop everything, if it seems appropriate – even though I’m naturally a “let’s make a plan” type of person. I’ve had to learn spontaneity (ha!) over the years. We still have plenty of time for what’s scheduled. It’s a laid back kind of day, so the boys are taking their time going through their workbook/textbook. I’m enjoying the frequent “Hey Mum – did you know…?” from both of them 🙂
Hope the sun shines on you today – metaphorically, if not literally!
