so we've been unschooling now since December 2005 (not very long)... did
school-at-home for the first few months of homeschooling starting in
September 2005... DD was in PS from K-3. anyhow, the rule of thumb is one
month deschooling for every year in PS... all this time I've been pretty
much letting her do whatever... and she's been anti-book/anti-library this
whole time... today in the car on the way to church my DD starts talking
about the sign-language she knows and we talked a bit about it and I said I
could probably find some charts on the internet for her and she said "we
could go to the library to get a book about it... then I could talk to
people who know sign-language."

it was such a cool moment because it was all her... I didn't do a thing to
bring this conversation or idea on. so as I was thinking about it I
realized that it's been about as many months as years as she was in PS...
and she's now pursuing interests beyond tv/video games 24/7 (though... don't
get me wrong... I have no problems with this 24/7)... it's just cool to see
her want to pursue an interest and an interest that I had no idea she had.
