2 Possible Plans for My Little One

[my3sons]

I've been thinking of my little one and wanting to plan ahead for him. I'd like to have him doing a guide each year by the time he gets to PHFHG. We take our summers off, so some planning is necessary for this to happen. I tried to plan ahead like this for Riley, but it didn't work because I didn't consider changes that could be needed in pacing. So, I decided to map out 2 plans for my little guy - an aggressive one, if he is going great guns happily and if I am up for that too; and a less aggressive one, if he would enjoy a more leisurely pace and if I would enjoy that too. I still reserve the right to do something totally different than either one of these plans, because only the Lord can truly know what the future holds. But, I thought it might be interesting to share just to show how HOD's flexibility of going half-speed or full-speed can really make many plans successful, depending on a family's goals...


Anyway, I just thought if this could be of any help to anyone else trying to look down the road, it may be worth sharing. Plus, if I lose my copy I can always find it back here on the board.

In Christ,
Julie

P.S. I'm leaning toward the less aggressive plan.

Love it Julie! I've thought through this with my younger ones, too. Only I used a little post-it note...and I'm pretty sure I've changed my "plan" along the way, too. Our goal is to hit a guide per year in Preparing as well and before then it's pretty flexible.

You are a planner! I'm more a fly by the seat of my pants girl! That's why I love HOD, you guys did all the planning for me!

All I can say is WOW, woman can you ever plan! And I mean that as a compliment! I boggled my brain just trying to figure out if my soon-to-be-5 year old and my 2.5 year old could ever be in the same guide! I never did resolve that one, but look at you go!
