A Living Doll

home education begins...

If asking questions and seeking answers is a good way to educate oneself, Anneke's scope for learning knows no bounds. One of her seemingly endless question conversations occurred while munching on a baby carrot:
"Why is this a carrot? Why is it a vegetable? Why did it grow? Where do vegetables grow?" To this last question I explained that they usually grow on farms, and she mulled that over a moment, than informed me knowledgeably, "But this carrot grew in a bag."

She loves to share her knowledge with Joseph by "reading" to him, or showing him how to write letters. She also tries to get him to talk, and usually has more success with him in this regard than any of the rest of us!

I'd cry too if those grimaces were made right in my face!

Hello, I'm trying to post again - some more of our early attempts at using the digital camera Maurice & Chris generously gave & sold to Dad & Mom for pajkes! Thanks again, I'm enjoying it too.
