My Little Greek

We've been studying Sparta and Athens in history this week; it's so interesting; I think sometimes I learn just as much as Jacob. I have to share this quote with you, first. We read it this morning.

Plato told the Athenians that a democracy had to have educated people in it! If they are ignorant, he said, people who know more than they do will become tyrants and tell them what to do.

I think that pretty much speaks for itself.

We made no sew Greek clothes this morning. Jacob loved it, especially since it involved making dress-up clothes that he could play with to his imagination's content. He did it mostly by himself too, with just a little help from me. It was really fun!Here's the real Jacob, without Mama telling him to stand nicely for the picture....my crazy boy!:)
