We cannot even begin to count the adventures you've been on, or to measure the fun you've had. We cannot begin to show every photo, or play every video clip, or display every funny face you've pulled, or share every joke you've made, or tell of every giggle that escaped your lips, or share every cuddle you've had with your brother and little sister, or tell of every opportunity you've taken, every experience you've had, or every success you've made.
But here is a small selection for you.
The photos aren't all perfect. They are not all in focus. They are not all straight. But they are here as a reminder. To help us remember and to celebrate. They represent just a few of your best bits of homeschool. You are one of a kind.
And we love you to bits.
Remember - be strong and courageous.
Linking up to R2BC over at Lakes Single Mum and our first time linking up with Ethan's Escapades Amazing Achievements. We are so happy that J has taken this step back into schooling because he has embraced it so positively after having had such a negative experience of school in the past. His teacher phoned today to tell us that she is so pleased he has settled in so well! For most kid's starting school is a milestone, but for J going back to school after 3 years at home with a whole bunch of difficulties he has in school settings really is an Amazing Achievement.
Hope to be popping over and visiting everyone else over the weekend.
Brilliant! Well done J - and you, for letting him go. What a fab idea to make that video for him :)

I do still worry but so far he's doing well and really enjoying it. x
DeleteI think it's wonderful that you let your children decide whether they want to study at home or at school. All the best to J!
ReplyDeletethank you Tarana. J used to have such difficulties at school before so it was the right thing to do at the time, now he seems ready to try again. x
DeleteI admire anyone that can home school, I wouldn't know where to start. And I admire J for going back and settling in so well. I never know school could be such a minefield, we are only just starting our journey. This really is an amazing achievement.
ReplyDeleteThanks for linking up with Small Steps Amazing Achievements :0)
