Day 5: Prompt? Oh, I see. Weekends are for free writing.
Let's see. Not for the first time, I mused that cartoon character Dora's name translates in English to -er. Exploradora in Spanish. Explorer in English. If that makes sense.
I'm distracted this morning because it's the weekend. Even though, theoretically, weekends would be like any other day for an unschooling family, it isn't. It's like a weekend day. My husband is home. We've got errands and day-adventures to go have.
Our tasks this weekend include going to visit the donkey at a local park and restocking our supply syringes and fish oil. My husband uses the syringes to inject insulin to stay alive.
Two of my girls are preparing to contribute a couple teaspoons of their blood to research scientists who are trying to better understand the development of type 1 diabetes. We're really hoping the girls don't have much to offer, that is, no antibodies to pancreatic beta cells in their blood.
We could have volunteered for the study years ago, as urged, but we waited until the girls could make the choice for themselves with full knowledge of what they were signing up for.
