Home Schooling for Cayden?

I have been toying with the idea of home schooling Cayden. Well, not really 100% full time home school, but kinda like part time? Cayden goes to school in the mornings now and after I pick him up at 1pm, I will put him down for a nap. He usually naps till 3.30pm and he will spend the time playing with me till I start cooking at around 4pm (in time for his dinner at 5.15pm). He eats dinner at 5.15pm and after dinner I usually let him watch a bit of TV (usually its Sesame St, or Bob the Builder, or Hi-5) before I start the bedtime routine (bath, milk, sleep at 7pm). As you can see, there isn't really much time for me to teach him anything.

I have been to some homeschooling websites (thanks to MamaBliss's blog!) and think that I can start to do some activities with him. I have been inspired! There are 2 reasons why I want to homeschool him:

1) The kindergarten he goes to - thought the teachers are good and caring, I think they don't really have a program. They also do not speak English.

2) These few weeks, I have observed that Cayden is picking up so words so fast! He is absorbing information so well! I think its a waste to not make full use of this time.

I have been in touch with Angie from The Home Library and have been really inspired by her as well! I have ordered Before FIAR set from Angie and will pick them up from her when I return for our home leave in July.

When we return to Mongolia from our July home leave, I will cut down on the number of days Cayden goes to school - from 5 to 3. The 2 days he stays at home, I will "work" with him and see how it goes. We will take it one step at a time.

Meanwhile, i will start to work with him in the afternoons as much as I can, with the limited resources I have.
