To Blog or not to Blog ...

My son has not agreed with my pro-blogging views. For more than two months now, we have been avoiding the issues of who-keeps-track-of-what for my son's homeschooling studies and learnings ... I should say that we have been avoiding the resolving of the issues, for we find that I am in favor of daily tracking and my son is in favor of my doing updates "when something exciting or interesting occurs." -- In fact, my child would agree to my doing daily updates, if that's what I wanted to do, so long as I did them without reqesting or requiring input from him!!!

In other important areas, my child's 11th birthday occurred in November in a rather nice kind of celebratory fashion (with just one special friend this year instead of the whole crowd). Then there was Thanksgiving, and the end of the legalities of the cooperative divorce process between myself and my child's dad, and a Snow Day (with just one inch of snow covering our yard here in town, whereas our friends who live 40 minutes away had what looked to be almost a foot of snow!).

With an 11-year-old who stands taller than my chin when we are both in socks, no shoes, it occurs to me that in just five more years this son of mine will be driving ... could possibly be employed ... where will we be? How will we be getting along? How many years of homeschooling (with or without blogging!) will we have accomplished by then?

How will we have grown? ... What will we have learned? ... What will we be doing next!! The possibilities are mind-boggling!!
