There is hope.
Yesterday, without even being told, small son not only completed ALL of his subjects before our departure time of 12:30 (for co-op).
He has even taken it upon himself to learn Egyptian (Arabic). AND is studying, in his spare time, about Egypt.
WOW. Big time, adult stuff for around here!
He even put in one of the language CD's for Arabic in the cd player in our truck on the way home (sheesh, with that sentence construction, maybe I should tutor out grammar, eh??).....and in listening to him repeat the phrases.....I am amazed that he shows the same linguistical (is that a word?) ability as his older sister......who is about as white bread, redhead, curly, sassy ANGLO as you can get....but when she lets out a speal of Spanish like someone born and raised in Mexico......it's just short of amazing!
Perhaps this will also be one of my children who grasps the 'arts'.....and most of his qualities, especially his personality....is more like his sister than anyone......sigh.
Hmmmm.....maybe all those early years of Charlotte Mason type teaching, gently exposing him to different areas of learning......music, the Great Masters, languages......maybe it's all geling together.....
WOW.....ain't God good??
SOOOO.....take heart, all you out there with multiple little ones under say......10 or so.....or even those that have children with learning disabilities.......
THERE IS HOPE.
They really are soaking it in.
They really are listening.
God really does answer prayer.
And Satan wants to discourage.
NEVER forget that.
Yesterday was a good day at co-op also. Next week we have a 'break week', no co-op. He will be able to catch up on a few thngs and prepare his very first EVER speech for 'elections' class.
And life goes on....

Wonderful news! It is so exciting when their own interests start to take them interesting places.
