Jeremiah sits on my bed while I call out his Latin vocabulary words and he replies with the English:
"Frumentum."
"Grain."
"Proelium."
"Battle,"
and so on.
With a wide grin and one proud tutor, he finally nails the Second Declension Masculine chant he's been struggling over. It's all worth it in the end. His wide, curious eyes look up at me, he smiles and says, "This is actually funner than I thought." I smile back and ignore his grammar.
God has been teaching me so much - especially patience. It's not always easy. But not much in life is. One thing's for sure. It always pays off.
I also think he was really happy about getting all that candy...
