Homeschooling with a toddler

Homeschooling is tough, anyone who argues otherwise is wrong, LOL. I was happily homeschooling along, when our journey was interrupted by a 7lb screaming male child. He was tiny and oh so cute. Thankfully he slept a lot in the sling and our homeschooling journey kept bumping along.

Enter the toddler...the happy infant turned into a cantankerous toddler, oh my! Not only is he cantankerous, he's a tornado on two chubby legs! Beware the forgotten pencil that fell on the floor, the video camera left in his reach or the pantry left open. He will destroy, color on, and generally ruin everything within his clutches.

"After I rearrange this pantry, I'm going to get a snack"

Who left their pencil out?? Before I caught him with the pencil, coloring on my refrigerator, he had colored all over the off-white tile.

Oh dear, he can climb up on the sofa all by himself now.

Helping Bryce with his English.

"Pillows can't contain me, ha ha ha ha. I've figured out how to get past them!!"

I guess I shouldn't do math on the floor anymore.

He thinks I'm a horsey ;-)

30 seconds of peace while he looks at a book.


The only cabinet in the kitchen that I leave unlocked.
He can empty it in about 15 seconds.


Locked himself in the garage *again*!


He loves to drop things behind the fireplace screen. Before I stopped him, he had already dropped the fireplace key and Marlie's pink eraser.


So in reality, that's about 30 minutes of time captured in photos. The other 23.5 hours of the day we repeat all of the above, with lots of snacks and a nap or two mixed in. Oh yeah, and homeschooling, don't forget the homeschooling....
