So i stopped writing on my blog...life became very hectic, still
is really, but now that i homeschool i thought this would be the
perfect place to write about our projects.
The biggest change since my last post must be the title, yup
i now have 8 children :-) A little girl named Lydia who was born
1st November 2010..she is nearly 19 moths now and the love of our
lives! I caught a nasty infection in theater during her c-section
and this put me practically out of action for 6 months (8 months
to feel fully recovered) but i am grateful to be here. I had
gangrene of the womb and the nurses told me after it was touch and
go there for a while. I was in hospital for a month..not the best
start for my little munchkin :-(
I have been homeschooling Lewis for a year now, he is mildly ASD
and basically his school couldn't cope with his eccentricities
leaving him in the classroom for assemblies and playtime and
letting him sit out lessons under the table, so i pulled him out.
He is coming on very well despite having learning difficulties.
However I don't find this a problem, i just teach in
a more visual, hands on method which seems to be working :-)
Quick catch up on the others...
David, has now been working for National Express for 4 years
gaining 2 promotions within that time. He is now also part of
the team who produces the website having quite a big say on
how it looks.
Michael, has a part-time job at a local chemist..looking for more
hours all the time. He has a girlfriend who now also lives with us.
Jessica now has a little girl who will be 2 in August. She works
at a retail store part-time whilst her daughter goes to a private
nursery.
Stefan works at the local newsagents but is also job searching.
Loves his games and has a wide circle of friends in the online
gaming world.
Charlotte is in the middle of her exams, a very bright girl held back
by anxieties about almost everything. Her teachers have little doubt she
will do well and is on course for University.
Lewis is the little one i am homeschooling, so you will be hearing lots
about him :-)
Holly is still an independant little miss lol Knows her own mind but at
the same time is caring and has a great insight into how people are
feeling or how they will feel if something happens...a good quality to have.
She struggles with lessons hampered by her poor sight. She may need some
catch up lessons in year 2.
Lydia, my cute, happy, easy baby :-) She occupies herself throughout the
day, has a decent nap and STILL sleeps through at night...oh and she LOVES
books, you will rarely find her without one in tow!
And thats it really.. Andy still works away making life difficult sometimes
but i also like that time to do things MY way lol
So... watch this space....
