The Art of Growing Boys...

Learning is a little like watching a plant grow. No matter how closely I examine, it is difficult to verify that anything is happening at that moment without damaging the plant.

But as time passes, I can see that much has happened, quietly and naturally; and with only the most simple support from me-- time, space, sunshine, and a fertile and peaceful learning environment.

Denver with dinosaur counters for math.

John Robert is a blur
as he eats a bagel,
puts on his shoes,
and dashes out the door
for swim practice.



Denver chops apples
to make an apple pie.

Spencer and Denver devouring library books.
