I love your "everyday there is something" lists. I'll have to include some of these in our studies.

Lots of interesting bits in your February list- I'm ordering a bunch of Darwin books from the library today, so we'll be sure to join you in that celebration! Oh, and the Hershey's chocolate day is a keeper too :0)

Knowledge which is acquired under compulsion has no hold on the mind. Therefore do not use compulsion, but let early education be a sort of amusement; you will then be better able to discover the child's natural bent .
