I went to the homeschool fair and share last night with Leanna. It's a chance for you to see what curriculum others use and how they like it. Plus you get a free curriculum item. And lots of catelogues. Leanna stayed in the children's section (right outside the door) and played with some kids who were there, then made friends with the teenage librarian. They hugged when she left. It's nice to be reminded of why you're making this decision and see so many other people doing it too, and doing it well. I had some questions about portfolios and unschooling answered, which was nice.
Saturday night we went to the park with Uncle Billy and had a nice long, active gym session. There were a few kids maybe a year or two older than Leanna, and some teenagers. They all played tag (uncle Billy included) and it was a competitive, fast-paced game! It was funny to watch, and I was pleased to see that Leanna is just fine interracting with kids of all ages. It puts to rest any doubts I have about either homeschool socialization or her old school thinking she just wasn't able to interract or make friends. All the kids got lots of excersize. And Uncle Billy kept up with them too!
