Today the big kids and I left Baby Boy with Daddy and headed to a pottery studio to meet some friends. The woman who owns the business had agreed to give the children their own personal lesson on a pottery wheel. It was beyond belief! The kids got 2 hours of instruction and hands-on assistance with their own projects - all for the price of $10! It was so fun to see their enjoyment and fascination with the process. All 6 of the kids were perfectly behaved and listened so attentively to the woman as she taught them about types of clay, the process of making pottery items, and the proper way to use a potter's wheel... My friend who joined us there brought her 3-month baby girl who fell asleep in my arms (despite the rude kicks of her little friend in my belly). The woman offered to do a print of the baby's hand and foot for free. The same offer has been extended to us if we bring back our new baby when we pick up our pottery pieces.
I'm so thankful for the flexibility of homeschooling that allows us to fit in neat outings like this.
