If play is a child's work and necessary for healthy development, then we're doing just fine over here.
The newest obsession is playing "School." They each set up classrooms, and come downstairs in line (moving one animal at a time) to go to music in the living room or art in the bathroom. (Who knew the bathroom was so artistically inspiring? If they've actually MADE anything in art, it's been flushed, because there's no evidence.)
Finally, there's planning time, where the teachers prep the next day's coloring pages and peruse the texts.
It's all quite adorable. Get to work, girls!
"Make it your ambition to lead a quiet life, to mind your own business and to work with your hands..." (I Thess.4:11)
And I thought it might be funny to throw in II Thess. 3:10, so you know how seriously we're taking the work these girls are doing: "If a man shall not work, he shall not eat."
And that reminds me of Evelyn reviewing memory verses tonight. She asked me why people are always called "he" in the Bible. I said that it didn't really mean boys only, but is just a way of talking about people in general. Then she reviewed James 2:10 as"But whoever will keep the whole law, yet stumble in one point, he--OR SHE--is guilty of all." (Emphasis hers.)
