an unschooling moment



I felt frustrated with my little girl today. She was a bit grumpy and we were just struggling to enjoy each other. She announced at 7:00pm that she wanted to make a cake. My first reaction was annoyance at her insistence. So I told her she could make one by herself if she wanted to. So she listed the ingredients she was going to use (2 eggs, flour, salt and honey). From then I was sucked in. And gladly so. We had a really fun time of measuring, taste testing, shooing away the boys, and eventually eating our healthy chocolate cake.
