I wanted to wait a day to write this so I could be a bit more sure, but I do believe I can officially say I am on the mend!!!! We did an entire Tot School morning yesterday AND today and Pac-Man and I even began a new lapbook yesterday as a way to get back to the fun part of school. For so long he’s just been completing the basics, I figured it was time to do some child-led learning for his sake. He was THRILLED!!! His choice…
Lovely. I was excited to see him excited about learning again, I think he really needed a lapbook! I said to him, “wow, you are behaving beautifully with your work today…” he said, “that’s because we’re doing a lapbook, I love doing lapbooks!” 🙂
We got this great pre-made (free) lapbook from Homeschool Share, and began with a few of the mini books yesterday. We also began the writing portion, with him dictating a worm story to me and me typing it in on our Starwrite program for him to trace over to work on his cursive.
I can’t say enough great things about the Startwrite program, it is wonderful and I find myself using it almost every day for him now.
It feels good to be back, although I am really lacking on the energy, I don’t really feel sick much during the day (it kicks in still in the evening though), so I can be with my boys. Thanks again to all of you for prayers and kind emails and comments, sorry I am so behind with replying to most of them :(. I am trying to get caught up!
