What a wonderful thing to be able to say as the psalmist did...

"For I have kept the ways of the Lord; I have not done evil by turning from my God. All his laws are before me; I have not turned away from his decrees. I have been blameless before him and have kept myself from sin."
Psalm 18:21-23

Conversations

Monday BA had a conversation with his Papa that went something like this:

Papa: "You see, BA, when you learn your letters and your numbers..."

BA: "Papa, I do know my numbers. Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers..."

And what could you say to that??? What a literal and funny child.

"Keep me safe, O God, for in you I take refuge...'You are my Lord; apart from you I have no good thing.' "

"But let all who take refuge in you be glad; let them ever sing for joy. Spread your protection over them, that those who love your name may rejoice in you, for surely, O Lord, you bless the righteous; you surround them with your favor as with a shield."
Psalm 5:11-12

BA's 1st day of school

Just woke up, but very excited about starting school

Right before the first lesson

His lil' reward card

Celebration Cake

For quite some time BA has been asking me about starting school. He has been very interested in it, and I finally gave in to starting his homeschooling. I planned to start when he was five, but his persistence made me give in earlier. Right now we will spend the next few months learning to read. He already knows all of the letters and their sounds, so the foundation is already there.

BA woke up very excited this morning. I'm not sure which excited him more- starting school or not having to take a nap because he was starting school. Either way, he anticipated "school time" (which used to be known as "nap time") all day. When the time finally arrived, he zoomed right through his lesson, just about like I thought he would. After we got finished, I surprised him with his own lil' cake. He said, "Mom, I can't believe you bought me a cake!" I admit, I probably wouldn't have thought about it, except the day before he said we would need to celebrate when he started school. That got my wheels to turning, and resulted in the special cake. Anyway, it's hard to believe my "little" boy is even old enough to start school. We had a pretty good first day, and I look forward to being able to teach him.
