We've been unschooling since before they could talk! When education is this fun, why wait? Why even separate it?
This first came to me with a two year old and his dinosaur toys. I knew homeschooling would make sense for us as soon as I got the idea, but we jumped into a much bigger world of education the first time I said, ‘well I don’t know, wanna go research on daddy’s computer with me?’
Through playing, youtube watching, playing, youtube watching, playing, and research, each new dinosaur ‘toy’ we got was quite a massive educational building block and puzzle piece.
Here’s a fun little activity for the kids…let them grow their own life in a container…Well, actually, let them follow the instructions, give or take, to make their own life in a container…I guess we’ll see in a few days if it worked.
We had a ‘big’ dose of unicycle lessons recently. By big dose, I mean about 20 minutes of practice over a few days. It was a push to see if he could get it before he turned six. He’s not there yet, but it will only be a few more tries…he’ll get it next month for sure…if he wants to…I don’t actually care if he does or not…as long as he keeps practicing whenever…there’s so many other ways they are both being active, it’s low on everyone’s list.

I wondered, very briefly, when we had our second kid, isn’t it going to be a lot harder trying to manage two kids learning at different ‘grade levels’? That was quickly replaced with, ‘well, I guess she’ll have two teachers, and he’ll be a teacher of things he learns.’

We had to replace the keyboard. What to do with the old one? Take it apart!
Lots of screws to unscrew, and lots mysteries to unravel.
