Maturity

This week has surprised me with homeschooling. This transition to Charlotte Mason was primarily for Davy. So I was anticipating spending much more time with him. But as it turns out he has taken to it like a fish in water. He is demonstrating comprehension of our reading assignments. His handwriting is so precious and neat that I wish I could turn it into a font. He made a 95 on his spelling test and has shown such great understanding of his Latin lesson that I am sure that he will ace his quiz tomorrow.

He still dilly dallies some due to his ADHD but he seems to be more hungry for knowledge. He spent over an hour on Khan Academy doing math assignments. That was over double his required time. He is spending much more time and effort on his piano practice. He is a math and science guy so fine arts isn't really his forte.

We had done overkill on science books over the past couple years so I was planning on just doing hands on projects once a week. But every day, he was asking for a science assignment so I added the physical science research from Easy Peasy online curriculum. 

What happened over the two month break? Seems he matured so rapidly. We want our kids
to grow but it is so bittersweet. Before we know it, he'll be off to college. I'm proud of how well he is doing and truly amazed at how far he has come. His reading speed is still slow and still a very literal thinker but if that is all we have to worry about then there are really no worries at all.
