Evidence of Home School

No blog posts.

Dirty bathrooms.

Late night grocery shopping.

Posters everywhere.

Absence of dinner guests.

Tired mommy.

Library trips.

Simple meals.

Sunday Visiting Teaching.

Lots of reading.

Happy Ryan.

I love this post. If ever a post told the story, "Happy Ryan" this is it. Perfect. Know that I love what you are doing. I mentioned that you added "home schooling" to a friend and I agree with her reply, "I don't think I'd have the discipline to do that." We both laughed, because we figure as adults we'd be the ones asking, "Are we done yet?" This is better than an organized pantry, lol.

Just Ryan or all of them? I'd love to hear about it! Good luck. We miss you!

Well, the last item is the most important. It's so wonderful what you're doing Marisa and it's going to make all the difference for Ryan. Both my mom and dad noticed a huge change in him when they were down last time. They said he was so much more at ease and happy. What more can you ask for as a mom?? It's fantastic.

Smiles! I can tell Ryan is more calm as well. What a great kid he is (and what a great mom you are)

Aw, just got teary. I'm so happy for Ryan that he has been blessed with a Mom like you. You're terrific Marisa. I decided after you left, that I would spend each day trying to become more like you.
I'm serious.
What fortitude and strength you have. In the face of adversity, you seem to pick yourself up and move forward with a positive perspective. Honestly, every mother's dream is to accomplish what you accomplish.
Go Mom!

I didn't know you were home schooling. I too would like to hear more about it. My cousin also home schools her 3 boys, and she has MS on top of it. It seems like I'm lucky to know such amazing women who can accomplish so much!

I definitely need to hear about your homeschooling adventure! We're having MAJOR issues with Ryan's teacher this year and I'm meeting with the principal tomorrow to discuss them (I've already talked to the teacher). I thought about homeschooling him last year and it's coming back into my mind again. When you find a spare moment will you share with me your reasons for going to homeschooling and how it's going?:)
