Ayden has been learning so much from school...he has a new zeal for learning he didn't have a couple months ago. We are extremely grateful for that. However, there are several things that were not working for him. I wont go into all of them, but the biggest problem was the bullying he was enduring. We were watching him change, close down...overwhelmed with stress and anxiety, but we could not get him to give us an answer as to why he was having a hard time. All of a sudden it all started pouring out of him. I know there is likely more to it than I even know. It broke our hearts to watch this all happen! We have done a lot of talking, researching, praying, ect. In the end the decision was made to remove him from public school. He didnt even bat an eye. He was excited to not be going. (Like I said, more to it than I know!) His teachers were sad to see him go, and I really do feel for them! We will be going back to visit with them again.
Today was our second day of homeschool. He is a total sponge. I have to talk him into taking breaks or even eating, reminding him that it will all be there for him to come back to.
His learning style is so opposite Levi that I feel like I am needing to look at everything so different than I have been with Levi. (Not to mention Levi is working on totally different things, like pencil holding and pre-writing skills) Its going to be a tough road as we navigate our way into home school with Ayden. I am thankful to him for his willingness to take this journey with us.
Here he is today working on patterns.
