If Noah and Eli could be as obsessed with insects/baking/English as you are, I'd consider that learning style a raging success.Concrete Gardenerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12368862362127742038noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8026557319568945115.post-32290256167864453132012-06-22T03:06:11.117-04:002012-06-22T03:06:11.117-04:00After reading this post, it occurred to me that my...After reading this post, it occurred to me that my mother and father might have unintentionally 'unschooled' me.<br /><br />Eli is much cuter than the potato.Tiffhttp://tiffanytsao.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8026557319568945115.post-33302768411246447372012-06-22T01:50:50.392-04:002012-06-22T01:50:50.392-04:00One of Eug's biggest culture shocks in Cape To...One of Eug's biggest culture shocks in Cape Town is that people go out without shoes. Of kids, he's not sure how their feet avoid getting cut since the street has broken glass (and people are always taking off Noah's shoes at the playground). Of adults walking around the supermarket barefoot, he hasn't said as much... All to say you can come here and they'd never have to wear shoes. <br /><br />While I may share your views on TV I've created various loopholes in my mind, including Kipper on Youtube (for Noah) and illegally downloaded movies (for us). I wondered if it's a sign two children is our max.Concrete Gardenerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12368862362127742038noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8026557319568945115.post-80329382439618828752012-06-20T15:49:21.392-04:002012-06-20T15:49:21.392-04:00KIPPER!

It's going pretty well so far.... but no TV. That's obviously from the devil, although I don't have any firsthand experience with Kipper ;)leahhttp://squibix.net/blog/noreply@blogger.com
