I get asked a lot why we homeschool. There are a lot of answers I give (they want too, you can tailor curriculum to each child, you can spend more time on things that interest you and learning outside the box, you have more freedom, etc.) The reasons I initially think of generally fall under the category "for my children". But sometimes a moment happens when I'm struck by the realization that I'm doing this for me too.
Today I got up from the table of math and reading and applesauce making to grab a glass of water, and when I turned around and saw this scene I had just that thought. At the end of the day there's probably no one at this table who would say this was their favorite part of the day. But it was definitely mine.
