I have been homeschooling my son for the past year. He is doing very well, amazing me with all that he can do. Considering how easy going our days are, I am extremely proud of how much he has learned so far. He continues to impress me with everything he does.
We don't have a strict schedule, but one of the times we are consistent with is when my daughter is down for her nap. I have him do a few pages out of one of his workbooks. Yesterday while my baby girl was napping, I told him to quietly do any page. He didn't seem so happy, so he brought a paper over to me and started to write.
He was writing instead of speaking because his baby sister had just fell asleep and he didn't want her to wake. What a sweet big brother moment. He started writing one word at a time as I followed along. He would write one word and look up, and then another, making sure I understood him. He wrote all over the page, once his message was understood - I numbered them in the order that he wrote it.
"I :( bkos I dont wont to do skol I wont to draw"
This has to be the second time he has wrote a message to me, just a few weeks ago he could barely read and here we are spelling out words - expressing his feelings on paper so his sister wont wake up. If you are wondering, after this note, he was allowed to draw. Little does he know, that's something I want him to do anyway. It's easily considered "art" class! ;)
This is truly a MOMent I will cherish forever.
