We made it through another week. This is the first week I tried to apply my curriculum: a week long schedule, complete with activities for every subject. I feel like I have an epiphany every day on how to make it work better. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. But Ethan seems to actually be learning stuff despite our lack of a regular school routine. That makes me feel like I can explore and try new things and not worry about him suffering.
It has been hard being pregnant. I feel like my brain is not at full capacity. Today I was at the library perusing some books about teaching art to children, and I ended up checking them all out because I could not focus. I just couldn't make myself concentrate enough to decide if the book was good or not. Is this going to get better after that baby is here? I will just be more sleep deprived and my time will be spread thinner. But maybe it won't be so hot all the time!

That space-brain-pregnant feeling is strange, and for me, it lingers even after the baby is born. It is both fun and frustrating. I remember sometimes just laughing at myself. Some days it still lingers.
Have you read The Creative Family by Amanda Soule Blake? I think you would really like it. It has great ideas for bringing art, nature, and music into family learning. (Side note, she also home schools and has a crafty/family blog.)
it is funny that you got ALL the books. Sounds like a good plan to think it over later.
