Aharon (5) woke me at 7am to ask me how to spell "design." He is playing Roblox. Usually he doesn't awaken me in the mornings (this is the first year that he's been going downstairs by himself without waking a parent, which feels like a huge milestone) but apparently this morning the desire to spell these words correctly so he could play this game was too much for him. So now I'm sitting nearby, so that he can ask me how to spell words every five minutes. "Helmet" "sport" "country" etc.
Yet again I'm thinking how unschooling has him coming to me, chasing me down for spelling help, waking me up in the morning for spelling help. As opposed to me trying to get them to sit down and work on things they aren't interested in.
I wonder how many more times it will take him to learn the word "design."
