Abe and I went to a training on Singapore math tonight. My mom was amazing and put the older three kids to bed so we could do that. We learned all about how Singapore math is taught so we can better help Lydia at home.
It was so delightful to go to this training with Abe. I thought about how I wish I could have gone to school with Abe, who is such a great partner. Abe was calling out the answers lightning fast, and when he got bored he built towers of dice at impossible angles and balanced the dice on my knees. He’s just fun.
I told Abe I adore my life right now. The only hard part is music practice with the kids, but normally even if I am yelling, it’s usually just to be heard over the chaos all around. I don’t feel that angry even if I sound mad. (Sadly, the kids don’t realize that…)
I almost feel guilty chronicling my day because each activity is so pleasant. Life is supposed to be a struggle, right? Of course I guess there is inherent effort in parenting four kids, but right now, for whatever reason, it is for the most part so enjoyable. I am so grateful.
