In which we tell you about our many works in progress.
Homeschooling, teaching, writing, recorder playing, knitting, spinning, home renovation, gardening, anything else that comes up.
Well, I didn't mean that I didn't like the other kid -- sorry for the mixed message. It's a nice haircut and I like the look but I like him the other way too.
He decided to cut his hair (or rather, have me cut it) because we went swimming almost every day in LA and he discovered that having hair almost (but not quite) long enough for a ponytail or a braid is really annoying in the pool. He was also mistaken for a girl one too many times... it happened every day in LA and on the train, often several times. He was over it.
He is not entirely happy with it, but he seems to be adjusting. There was an intermediate cut, short in back and long in front (unfortunately not captured on camera) that looked really cool, and he wishes he'd kept it that way. He says he forgot what his hair was going to look like short.
I used to be a teacher at an alternative elementary school, then I taught my own kids at home for a few years. This is where I try to figure it all out. I sometimes freely opinionate about what kids need and how school ought to be. There are lots of good discussions happening in the comments. Please chime in.
We started this blog as a place to chronicle our ongoing work on our old house, and sometimes that still comes up, as do knitting, spinning, and assorted other topics related to having a house and children.

And is he pleased, or is he having second thoughts?
