Twinkle, twinkle, little star,
I know exactly what you are:
A ball of gas up in the sky,
reflecting light into my eye .
Twinkle, twinkle, little star,
I know exactly what you are.
My heart glowed with gratitude. To have the time to be present with my children, following their lead from reading a favorite late January story, A Gift of Gracias, to making stars to catch on blankets (as happens at one point in the story), to realizing their growing understanding of the universe while enjoying song and fine-motor skill work was a true delight. Giggling and laughing while tossing and catching the stars in blankets afterward was fun, too.
Simple moments. Spontaneous activities, song and conversation. Twinkling eyes and smiles. These are gifts of parenting and homeschooling I am so grateful for.

Time for the family, the kids are the most important element in living. These moments are going to be cherished by them. God's blessings be with you and the days to come. Happy TT.
I love it! I always wondered about that line in the song. Great rewording!

I LOVE this post! It gives me such encouragement and joy to think of training my own children at home. So often I become weary and worried about homeschooling, but its posts like these that assure me I can do it... and that I can love doing it too!
