Not-Back-To-School: Top Ten Things She'll Miss

Well, next Monday would be Georgie's first day of Kindergarten, had we chosen to send her this year. So, I wanted to commemorate this time with a top ten list on what she is missing by staying home with me:

1. She won't learn that she has to only make friends within a group of people just her age.
2. She won't learn that she has to stay still and quiet all day long, never making waves or rocking the proverbial boat.
3. She won't come home with thirty sets of parents' worth of values (or lack thereof).
4. She won't be told what she is supposed to think or believe. She can figure those things out on her own.
5. She won't have to wait until receiving permission to go to the bathroom.
6. She won't have to miss playing in the park or outside in our yard in the middle of the day.
7. She won't have to forgo lying on my bed, watching a Veggie Tales or What's in the Bible (or Disney movie) when she needs some downtime. And we all need downtime. 
8. She won't have to stop jumping up and down, yelling (within reason), making paper dresses, staging plays, or climbing to get sap from the tree for her sap collection.
9. She won't have to spend the day without her little sister.
10. She won't have to spend the day without me. 

This list is not exclusive, but it's all I can think of for the moment (same thing?). I'm so blessed to have my sweet girls home with me!
