Westen started learning to play bass guitar for World of Chaos about six months ago.
The band leader’s mom put together this collage of all their shows and it’s amazing to look back on this half year.
Six Months of Chaos
Stay Curious
My grandfather, David, is 93 years old. His mind and memory are failing, but his curiosity remains inspirational.
Isaac had his first public performance on the trumpet and David was fully engaged with the music and the kids in the ensemble. He had questions for all of them and thoroughly enjoyed the answers.
Unschool Dividends
A few weeks ago I had the opportunity to teach our children how to change a tire. It wasn’t part of a life skills curriculum or plan, it just happened.
Last night, the car they were riding in got a flat. Without hesitation they got to work and resolved the problem without adult guidance.
I Gotta Build
But instead, I get caught up in sorting.
Their First Tour
World of Chaos is hitting York, State College, and Lansdale, Pennsylvania, this weekend.
This Kid
Isaac became eligible for the adult program at Elevated Studios Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu when he turned 13 in May.
He’s joined a leadership team and his learning has found a new gear.
Understanding Syria
I’m not very knowledgeable, but these are some great sources for understanding what’s happening in Syria (and anywhere else the US is intervening).
Upcoming World of Chaos Shows
And they now have a merch store!
Isaac’s Talents
He’s a hungry reader, budding trumpet player, and maturing jiu-jitsu practitioner. I love his different interests, but his fondness for baking brings the most joy to our house.
This week he celebrated Kristen’s birthday with gluten-free Brazilian cheese bread (holy smokes!) and her favorite chocolate cake.
