I've had the flu for 3 days. Sheridan has had it too. Cameron has played with a neighbor and gone out with a baby sitter for ice cream. We were off school for two days because of P/T conferences. All that...and today, I'm just not feeling up to my usual patient and understanding self.
Questions that have almost put me over the edge:
What's this word?
I don't know this?
Ice Cream isn't a food, it's a dessert.
How do you spell pizza?
Can you hear ice cream?
I need another eraser?
Can we take a break?
Why does Sheridan get hot chocolate?
HARD WORK:
THIS is one of the hardest parts of parenting and teaching Cameron. I'm fairly certain this is the most Godly trait...to see others full of potential and not be swayed by what they are exhibiting now.
I've struggled with sickness for 3 weeks and teaching Cameron has been SUPER HARD. It's exhausting on any day with an average of 10,000 questions, 5,000 repeated instructions, 4,000 denied requests, and constant attitude checks (for both of us).
Cameron has sabotaged every good day and fun thing we've done. It only takes a minute of freedom for him to make a choice that ruins our whole day.
I'm better now, thank God for modern medicine (specifically Z packs) and now we're just trying to gain our footing again.
Goals:
Have more than one day of GOOD school, without incident.
Be patient. ME
Find something he wants to read.
Love him like the PRECIOUS gift he is.
