They knew right away he was gifted, however the kept him at this age level for that very reason (which I don't necessarily agree with given how ugly children can be. Especially when a child is smaller). Anyways after struggling year after year we are now homeschooling. Cole is in a hybrid homeschool (2 days a week) and finally feels like he fits in. The kids are all goo era just like him and I'm loving it as a parent seeing this children blossom in their own skin the way God made them!!!

I have discovered that sometimes I need to be a kid too in order for me (us) to learn. Looking at the world with child like wonder has helped with making sure homeschooling is fun experience. Sure, we have are crazy days, but sometimes one just has to roll with it. Sigh.

This sounds like exactly the kind of movie I'd like - someone refusing to be something they're not, never giving up, and people coming to appreciate that after all... But then I realize that this sounds an awful lot like me, and I didn't enjoy growing up as a Mary enough to want to see it replayed... But then, knowing Mad Natter is coming up the same way I did, that same intensity, same chatterbox, same giving 110% to everything... Maybe I should.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01452291011927614117noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8784910803420668287.post-64881823167966358652015-01-19T20:17:36.018-07:002015-01-19T20:17:36.018-07:00This sounds like fun, Nicole.
