Just wanted to share that in spite of all the craziness of a newborn and Ezra's head injury, etc., my oldest DS (8.5yo) has jumped right into Preparing and is LOVING it!

No complaining, even though his workload and the amount of writing has definitely increased from Bigger. His attitude towards school and doing his best has been great -- which hasn't always been the case!

He says his favorite box is Science and doing the experiments without any help!

Just so thankful for HOD and I LOVE seeing the fruit from Bigger as we begin our second program and year with HOD. The programs truly do build upon each other.
DS2(5.5yo) is LOVING LHFHG -- wish I had done it for my first DS's K year -- it would have been so much more enjoyable and less stressful, but it was my first year homeschooling and I felt like I had to prove something to myself and everyone around me, so I pushed my oldest DS a bit too much.

I am much more laid-back and not nearly as pushy/perfectionistic this second time around!

Anyway, just thanking God for leading us to HOD -- I would be completely overwhelmed and tempted to give up right now with a new baby, a preschooler, and homeschooling two without it!
