I have read many times that one of the best rewards of homeschooling is watching your kids reach a milestone. And today that is just what Nicholas did! He finished his first reading book. What is most significant to me is the transformation that has taken place since September: from a very reluctant reader to one who begs "Mom, can we do our reading first today?" Wow!
I am so proud of you, Nicholas! Oh, the places reading will take you!
"To live content with small means; to seek elegance rather than luxury, and refinement rather than fashion; to be worthy, not respectable, and wealthy, not rich; to study hard, think quietly, talk gently, act frankly; to listen to stars and birds, to babes and sages, with open heart; to bear all cheerfully, do all bravely, await occasions, hurry never. In a word, to let the spiritual, unbidden and unconscious, grow up through the common. This is to be my symphony." - William Henry Channing
