learning a new skill

Being a teacher has got its advantages - having time off to spend
with Emilia is simply priceless. And that's why home ed seems so appealing too- she's learning so much at home, why would you bother with school... I think she'll be a bit bored at school anyway, she seems to be ahead of most of kids her age. 
On the other hand, she definitely needs interaction with her peers, and a lot of it.
Anyway, we've been sewing, she loved it and by the end of the day she even sewed on a button. 

And by the way, did you notice? Emilia let me tie her hair, second day in a row!
