Addition

This week we added a park outing with a group of other home schoolers. Will was beside himself happy that he finally had an opportunity to have "friends". I did talk to him about how friends can be any age and gave examples of some of best friends being 5 years or so younger and/or older than myself. I pointed out that his brother is 5 years younger and that he still could be his friend. Still, it is nice for him to some kids on his level to interact with as well as older and younger so we were all quite happy. Not to mention some social interaction with adults for myself!!! The kids all seemed to get along well and this group plans field trips and such as well so I think we have been blessed to find this opportunity. At every turn even though I feel scared that I won't do a good job, I know this is what we are supposed to be doing for our family. So I will keep building this boat and having faith that Heavenly Father will be helping me do it.
Will is also doing a candy survey to go with the stories we are reading lately (Chocolate Fever and Charlie and the Chocolate Factory). He has gotten so many responses from our friends and family so thanks so much for everyone that is supporting Will in his learning and me in my guidance of his learning. I think it will be a good experience as we move through these books and activities. I am even learning. . .did you know they make white chocolate using not the cocoa beans but the cocoa butter they press out of the beans??? Cool huh?
