Despite my predictions...

... a reasonably productive day. With good and bad.

good
  • shopping and washing more under control
  • made a husband-pleaser dinner
  • baked an all-bran loaf
  • encouraging and in-depth chat with friend this afternoon
  • started reading a new volume of C.S. Lewis letters
  • new bike shopping for oldest child
bad
  • chat with a teacher after school. So hard to hear a teacher that I trust and respect tell me she thinks our boy may never be able to write a standard report (eg. on an animal), and that there's no point me trying to work with him on it at home. What do I do with that? (Except cry?)

  1. Don't believe her, Simone. There is always hope! A cry is good too!

  2. What do you do with that? You ignore the ignorant teacher who should know better than to tell the mother of a bright intelligent boy that there is something he cant do! And you being the bright, intelligent and loving mum tell him that there is nothing he can't do even if he needs a little help doing it.
