Today, I saw that in the eyes of Micah. He's been a struggling reader... nervous to read... afraid of failing... settling with Bob Books. This morning as we were beginning our school day, I gave my sweet son a dose of harsh encouragment, and placed a Little Bear book in his hands. I could see it in his eyes... he was convinced he couldn't read "a real book". But then, after only one page, I saw the change in his eyes as he realized HE COULD read real books!! That simple moment meant so much more to me as a mom than Micah reading a book. I saw my son's bravery. I saw how he wanted to give up, make excuses, throw a fit a quit. And then I saw him soften, become brave, and try.
That moment is why I love homeschooling.
