A Question

when your home schooling child is doing book work what do you do with your noisy 2 year old?

Fully Awake, My Mind is Buzzing and Its only 4 in the Morning

Its 4 in the morning and Ive been awake for the 2^nd time tonight thinking thinking thinking. Im not worried Im just fully awake and ready to spring into action. This I know has been sparked by what I did yesterday. When I started thinking randomly about trying mashed pumpkin for dinner tonight (RANDOM!!! I brought a HUGE pumpkin from the supermarket the other day) I knew it was time to get up and blog not lie there any longer.

LOL better not wake My Trier up and tell him I want to teach right now!!! Somehow I think hed think his mother had lost the plot and gone crazy on him. Poor boy.

So whats on my mind in particular. Theres a heap of stuff I want to do. I need to see if I can get a disability allowance for My Trier. While his grandfather is wonderful and very supportive he wants to know if this is possible. He has been paying for My Triers private tution out of a family trust for the last couple of years.

When we start homeschooling Id like to continue to take My Little Man to playgroup he LOVES it and so do I. I wonder whether My Trier would happy enough to go along every week. I believe that children shouldnt be split up and not allowed to play with younger children as they do at school. I have also witnessed the fact that My Trier is very good with little children and his little bro. Would he be happy going every week though? If not would I be able to set him work to do and would he do it alone and in a settled fashion?

I also want to ring everyone up and invite them over for a coffee morning before playgroup starts again in mid February. I also have kept in contact with My Triers teacher from last year. We got on really well. Shes a lovely lady and I emailed her over a week ago and then she emailed me back saying lets have coffee. Well that email is sitting in my email programme open and waiting. I need to get in touch with her and book a time.

Deep and low, deep and low

I have secrets you dont know

Low and deep, low and deep.

I have secrets that I keep

(Emilo and the River by Joy Cowley)

This is the chant thats running though my head. I have an excellent English programme which I cant wait to start working with again. When I home schooled my daughter for 2.5 years about 6 years ago we used this programme which I kept.

We produced a lot of wonderful work using it. I wonder if this book turns out to be My Triers favourite. Or something else? The future is full of possibilities.
