Tea for three



Its often said in our homeschooling circle that what we all really do here is "in the world schooling" rather than home schooling. This has become increasingly true for P this "school" year. Well, all of it, except the "school" bit ;) We're still rocking the mornings-at-home rhythm that works so well for the Little Man, but the afternoons find us out in the world, exploring, playing with friends and enjoying life, almost daily. There are so many amazing options in NYC for homeschoolers, that I'm trying to make sure P's days/weeks are balanced, bringing him the immense amount of input he craves without forgetting the importance of the plain ol' play that P so treasures, A healthy mix of imaginative toy worlds and all of the crazy questions they spark in the morning, followed by acrobatics class, group trips, library visits, garden gathering, leaf collecting, museum hopping and sing-a-longs later in the day. Fortunately, this very loose schedule leaves plenty of time for tea parties and birthday celebrations for our favorite pink monster.... For what would life be with out a party for BB?
