Traveling, b-ball, pool, and school

Jordan (in the green) fast-breaks for two.

Everybody made it home from Colorado okay. They had a good time skiing, tubing, and ice skating.

Next day, Jordan went straight to swimming and basketball. Swimming was playing in kiddie pool, so not a real lesson, but we signed him up for another seven lessons. He's as good at swimming as anyone, and like his other sports, when he doesn't have to do something, he doesn't; but if he has to show he can swim, he's fishlike.

Basketball, his team played the best team again, for the last time this season, and it was much better than the previous times. Not a blow-out, at least, and Jordan has shown remarkable progress, dribbling and passing, shooting from the free-throw line. He said he gets nervous sometimes because people are watching and he is not sure what he's supposed to do because one coach says shoot and the other says pass. Understandable. On both counts. The coaches don't really coordinate at this level, so you get what you pay for, and we paid for some nice green uniforms.

Now, we're looking at new curricula for the new school year. Thinking about what we could or should do, and it's quite difficult, almost as hard as choosing the homeschool in the first place. I think we're in agreement that homeschooling is the way to continue, as long as we're able to do so.
