Finn has been excited about surrending time with Bo the past couple days. He eagerly follows Bo from sofa to kitchen, entertaining his ideas of racing, followed by trucks and cars, followed by by more chasing each other.
As he was playing we exchanged glances a couple times, and he’d gingerly explain he is acting like a little kid, and trying out playing the way Bo plays. He fell over with laughter a couple times upon witnessing Bo’s sheer delight in a dump truck, or making silly sounds to garner more laughs from Finn. It’s these times that I believe they are learning all they need to know to be a genuinely decent human in this world. But at the moment they are experiencing the best of what it means to be in a relationship. And that’s where the gems of unschooling reside: in each one of us and how we choose to interact in the world.
