While sorting through pictures, I noticed I had quite a few that depict Josiah's daily duties. (Which is really nothing more than the things he enjoys occupying himself with while the others complete their schoolwork.) I decided to compile them and take the time to make a tribute to "his very important work".
His work often starts with simple curiosity, wanting to do things that he's seen the other of us do.
But often ends looking something like this...
Other times, his work seems methodical and planned. Like when he removed all the velcro pieces from our felt calendar just so he could correctly replace them on his own based on the outlines underneath.
He's had a lot of fun with those little unit cubes over the span of this school year.
Oh, the mess. (He had help here from his sidekick, Michael.)
It's easy for me to see the mess (like in the picture above) and miss out on what's really happening but it's clear when looking over these few pictures that he's learning, in his own way, right along side of us. Frankly, I like his way of learning and wish I was as tiny as he so I could pull it all off, too.
