I’ve had another long, busy work day, and though there
wasn’t really much play time; I did still manage to have fun.
Rowen and I were both working after school again because
we’re taking tomorrow off to celebrate her birthday. Mom didn’t have Alicia to help her today, so
while I was busy working too; I had Ethan and Ehlana in the office with me part
of the time while Mom was busy making dinner and getting some other work done. They mostly did some of their school work,
and loved getting to do that with a little Magi power since I was there to put
up my wards to do my own work – and to chat with them telepathically. They expect to finish Grade Nine by
Christmas, and will move on to Grade Ten after the holidays.
I haven’t written an update about Ethan and Ehlana’s
education in a while, and the most exciting part of that for them is their
ongoing lessons with Naomi and Aiden.
While Aiden hasn’t been working with Ethan, Ehlana, and Naomi for very
long, and is the youngest, he’s got as much potential as Naomi; and they all
work together very well – probably even better than Rowen and I do. Mom thinks that’s because they’re starting
out so young, and don’t have the same trust issues that people develop as they
get older. I’ll guess that having Mom
there to jump in to keep them from getting burned while literally playing with
fire helps too; though my brother and sister seem to have fewer problems with
that kind of thing than I did at their age.
Going through all of this training with me probably helps
Mom avoid some of the stranger moments we had during my early training, but
working with four toddlers is still new, interesting, and exciting. While Naomi and Aiden are both strong Magi,
they’re progressing far faster than expected; and that, at least so far, seems
to be validating Mom’s training methods and her expectations that having the
Magi kids train together in groups will help them to reach their full Magi
potential. I think she’s right about
that, but from a kid’s perspective, even if that wasn’t the case; it’d still be
worth it just for the fun factor!
Getting back to the recap, I worked in the office until
dinnertime; Mom did another Magi lesson with me after Dad and I had cleaned up;
we all had some family play time before Ethan and Ehlana went to bed; and then
I came up to my room for some quality Jacuzzi time. I worked on my archive assignment and
language studies while soaking in the tub, and only had my regular nightly
computing and this journal entry left to do after getting into bed with
Mandy. Somehow, I’ve managed to get all
of that done before midnight, and if I wrap this up now; I’ll actually manage
to miss being awake for the start of the new day, so...
...say ‘goodnight, Cassie’.
“Goodnight, Cassie.”
