Ruby and grandma

She is just sooooo perfect. And I get to do this all over again in six weeks!
My son and his new baby daughter, Ruby, born July 25th at 5:36. Mommy, baby, daddy, and grandma are all doing great!

Scene - preschool - my daughter’s one and only experience with formal schooling.
“What do you want to be when you grow up?”
“A fireman”
“Oh honey, you can’t do that. Maybe a nurse?”
“I’m going to be a fireman!”
Reason #73437536 to homeschool unschool your kids.
Don’t doubt it for a second. Formal schooling isn’t a requirement for success. This kid had the time to volunteer with our local fire company from the time she was 15. She earned scholarships to EMT training and Fire Academy. She runs with scissors too. (Strapped in the gear pocket of her tactical pants!) Cuz not only can she handle a hose, but she can save your life.
She did these things because she wanted to. She followed her interests right into a career.
My kid - the paramedic. The unschooled paramedic.
