Homeschooling A is going ok. I expected him to take some adjusting to formal learning and he has. He enjoys the stories I have created to introduce the letter, and is happy to practice forming them, but shows little interest in reading still. He has however asked to go back to school, he wants friends.
I know that at some point this will happen, and so a few days ago he spent the morning at a local tiny class one waldorf school. It's really small, just five children, and a teacher, working together on an old fire engine every morning! He LOVED it, the writing, maths, the walk and big puddle jumping, and he cannot wait to go again.
We are going to take some time considering this further, but he would be happy there, and the small class would be good for him I think. It is so hard to know what is best, but at the moment it feels good.
Today he had a great day with his grandad, then swimming with friends and his sister. we have allowed L to stay up later tonight and watch mamma Mia with us, she loves that movie! Little C is snoozing on the settee, and we are enjoying e warmth of a lovely log fire. With biscuits.
