They were seperated
Due to the miracle of adoption my youngest 2 are 7 1/2 months apart in age. People always ask if they are twins, I say no, they ask how far apart are they I tell them 7.5 months and then I get looks of great wonder. I have actually thought of carrying around a camera to take pictures. I usually say well I am wonder woman,... no one was adopted.
Any way I digress. Yesterday Birth dad came for a visit. Fred, Haley, Kirsten and birthdad all went into town yesterday. Poor Hunter stood at the door in total and complete shock that Haley was leaving without him. Then it hit me this is probably one of the first times they haven't gone out together. They do everything together. He couldn't believe it. All day he kept asking to go in the van. "I go in van mom". He kept opening the door to see if they were home yet. I finally talked Megan into taking him to the park across the street from our house.
It was kind of interesting. I never realized how much they were together until yesterday.
Should they do more separate things? Should we take them out one at a time?

A great day
I want to talk about a great day I had the other day. It was on Friday. It was a defining day. One that says you are a Homeschooling Scholar Mom.
My 7 year old Daughter was bouncing on the exercise ball reading Harry Potter to me, I was changing a poopy diaper and between wipes I was writing out math equations on the white board for my 5 and 6 year old daughters.
For some people this may seem quite hectic and really it is but I remember thinking at that moment that this is who I am, I home school my children and this is what it looks like. I felt a great surge of happiness well over me and it was a great day. I was in the company of the greatest souls who ever lived and I was humbled and inspired because of them.
We read many books that day. I was inspiring as the mother mentor, and some of my reluctant readers went on to start books on their own, HURRAY!! That to me is a good sign of great inspiration.
I am happy to be in the mind set I am in. I am a mother and an educator. At this moment I wouldn't change that for anything.
