Time to learn again

Okay so, why is it that I am 27 years old and just now eager to learn? I remember a time when I was eager to learn, up until about fourth grade, and then it went away. Could it be that it was the method in which I was taught from fourth grade on. Kirk and I have been researching the classical method of homeschooling. The more that I think about homeschooling my children in this way, the more excited I become to learn again. Both of my girls are incredibly bright. Keelyn is reading and doing math at a first grade level . . . she's four. Kiersten knows all of her colors, shapes, the abc's and the sounds each letter makes . . . she's two. They are to say the least teachable. I recently sat down and did my calender for homeschooling Keelyn this next year. I am going from June 1st through May 31st, with a few breaks here and there. I am very thankful that I have an eagerness to learn again, because I am going to need it.
