Schooling the Littles

Sometimes I get busy with school and forget to spend a little one-on-one time schooling the littlest of my littles.  What a difference it makes when I do.  They are SO excited to have their own one-on-one School time with Moma. :)  So much so that afterwards, I hear... "Moma, is it our school time now?" quite a lot. :)
Now don't get me wrong, they school right alongside the older children, while we are having school time they are coloring or learning the Presidents or writing their letters... but it helps a lot to spend a little time to work with just them, one at a time.
What a blessing it is to me, to be the one who sees their children learn new skills, what a joy it is to be the one who is there helping them, teaching and nurturing them and watching them learn.  There just is NOTHING like it. 
Enjoy them being close to you, being with you, so much so that it is an ache in you to be away from them...
Children are a gift, given to US... from the Lord.
Cherish, Enjoy, Treasure every moment.
No, it is not always easy for me to do that either, but when I realize that the next time I blink my eyes that they will be grown, it makes it a lot easier for me to slow down, breathe deeply and know how incredible my life truly is.
I hope you have a great day and enjoy time with your littles, big, small and in-between. :)

Amen girl!
Ms. Independent (almost 4) and I have our own schoolwork time. Even 30 minutes makes such a huge difference to her and to me.
Great post!
