We made it! Week 24 Foundations

We made it!!

It’s the last week of co-op for our family and I am stinking excited! This was our first year and it was really super hard. I talked about it before, we are doing Classical Conversations. Going into it, I wasn’t super sure what my goals for Samuel should be for this first year. Now at the end, I realized our goal throughout the year was just teaching Sam that this is how co-op works. 

And I think he gets it. 

Samuel flourished with giving presentations but super struggled the WHOLE time with sitting for each session. Waiting for snack time was very, very hard as well but that's because we rarely wait for snack time at home. With a one-year-old, I’m not going to try and change that.

I started co-op in the fall with a nursing baby and Sam not being potty trained yet. That went about as well as you could imagine. 4 year olds in diapers are no fun and it was such a relief when he FINALLY learned to sit on a toilet. And now, I’m convinced that Colson just thinks he is a part of the group. Which to me is just a sweet image of the beauty of the classical tradition of education being so helpful for strengthening the family dynamic.
