| This time, I would like to leave the sourpuss in me in being so negative during the last (almost) year and be more optimistic in terms of our goals for this school year. All my whining and my issues have not affected most of my son’s goals in the school year that ended recently. There are still many “batches” that we have to help him, especially on writing and reading skills, but we will work on this on the summer with the help of my other 2 daughters whom are on summer vacation.
He is happy, he is talking a lot more, and requiring me attention: “Look at me, mom, I am talking” are some of his expressions that make me laugh and almost cry because I see my son big, alert and learning at his environment. The Lord has been good with us!
I know that I have talked about putting him in a school, but after thinking about it and searching for an appropriate school, there is none! I believe in homeschooling and I believe that he is in the best environment to help him achieve these goals, especially when we are talking about children with special needs, in my case, autism.
I see my children and I see hope…
I see my children and I see acceptance…
I see my children and I see progress…
I see my children and I see a way to be near God and my way to holiness…
I know I have to be more consistent with my schedule and with what my son will be learning, but I also know that I have to let him LIVE and LEARN with his environment.
There are better days, we will start on it TODAY.
