I love these lists of seemingly random activities, all done as a part of living our day-to-day lives. I love the memories they evoke, not of items checked off a curriculum, but of those moments when Jeremiah has staggered me with what he knows, just through living his passions. (To be fair, Annalise has many of these moments, too; but I don't need to do reporting for her until next year. ). There are also those moments that we shared together, exploring, playing, talking, tickling, snuggling, driving...
To me, the pictures and blogposts and memories of our unfettered, freeform days and nights are documentation enough, if I needed any beyond this thoughtful and engaged and thoroughly delightful person I get to share my life with.
But I live in New York, and so, to comply with state law, I'll next put this into educationalese....but not tonight. I have a headache.
