So Jeremiah asked me so sweetly this morning "Can I stay home with you guys?" I must admit it kind of wrenched my heart a little that he can tell something is going on here at home and he is feeling a little left out. He even told me he would do work with me and learn his letters and numbers and words. It definitely makes me question whether keeping him in public school this year is the right thing. Even though I was so sure it was when school started a month ago. I guess its time to pray about it some more.
My son Jeremiah has a condition call Koolen DeVries Syndrome that creates a bunch of medical problems and a wide range of learning challenges and mental disabilities. This first year homeschooling I really wanted to start slow and focus on the girls and getting their gabs and struggles filled in and caught up before considering whether bringing Jeremiah home from public school would be the right thing. As of right now he is getting OT, PT, Speech and other educational services through the school district and we both feel like this is what he needs at the moment. Even if his questions wrench my heart. It is a mother's job to make the hard decisions and do what is best for each one of her children isn't it? And each one of those children might need something that is a little different from the others.
