I believe one of the greatest benefits for our homeschooling family is the closeness of the sibling relationships. I often hear people talk about how difficult sibling relationships are and how the tension in the home is almost overwhelming and I am so very thankful that my children truly seem to care about and love one and other. That does not mean we do not have sibling rivalry, scuffles and sometimes the occasional yelling match between siblings, however, this is the exception and not the rule.
The closeness often shows itself in the kind things the children do for one and other. One example is that this Christmas one of my daugthers decided that since her 3 y/o brother loved to read so much she would create a book out of a made up story she often tells him at bedtime. It was a huge hit and I only wish that we had a publishing company interested...Here are a few pictures from the book about the "Best Dream Ever."

Needless to say this book has become a favorite and I think there may be a sequel or two in the works!
