I just wanted to say that I was so moved, almost to tears today in school. My eldest has been soooooooo hard to teach all this time. I would sit with him for hours on end trying to teach a letter, or a color, and he'd never seem to retain it.
But oh my goodness, this week has been totally different. My son wrote an A today. By himself. This from the child who a week ago didn't seem to understand how to draw a circle or line. He filled up a page of A's and then was asking me to show him other letters. He figured out M all by himself. I'm so happy!
Before I started LHTH, I felt so lost and not very productive, and had a hard time trying to think of different ways to present things. He's just absolutely blossomed this week. This is making me think of Helen Keller, actually. I've finally found a way inside his mind....
Anyhow, I just wanted to share with other moms who probably understand what I'm feeling

Oh, and he can recite most of "Adam and the Animals" with very little prompting from me. Another first. I'm just amazed.
