G cut that wretched tooth on Monday, or Tuesday (already can’t remember). AND she slept through the night last night, completely (10pm to 6:30pm Amazing).
And, I think we have a clincher on the homeschooling thing.
E came down after going to bed last night crying because ‘she wants more time with us, at home’. She stayed up with me until 10 talking about all kinds of things. I’ve heard that kids are interesting to talk to, for long periods of time, but this is the first moment any of them (well, just her) have been old enough. We talked mostly about boarding school-the awful food, the missing of parents, the being allowed to cook food in the dorm when you get old enough, and how great it is that 1 she doesn’t have to go and 2 so far from that, she can learn at home. We talked about how we might structure the day, and create a school space and everything. A good time was had by all.
