Those pesky kids scuppering your plans! ;) and btw, was going to suggest the 4400 to you, I watched it many years ago and loved it (I now own the complete boxset) - so much so that when I first started watching Heroes, I'd get annoyed with it and I felt the 4400 had already been there, done that. Ultimately they take their own course and I do really enjoy heroes, but the 4400 continues to capture my imagination far more than heroes, and I think it holds up to repeated watching far better.Ashleighhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10688791513734509395noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4796229784379212331.post-33421984380841955772012-07-25T14:04:30.281+01:002012-07-25T14:04:30.281+01:00I love days like this, more so if they are not pla...I love days like this, more so if they are not planned.sustainablemumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04099701194160334671noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4796229784379212331.post-60564368391044344552012-07-25T09:54:33.131+01:002012-07-25T09:54:33.131+01:00Hey, no beating yourself up!

You're facilitating the kind of education you feel he needs right now: for *his* needs and *his struggles right now!<br /><br />My panics and wobbles aside (haha) I think my point is as soon as I think one way "isn't working" how I think it will, it does all over again. :S They seem to learn plenty - almost always in spite of me, whatever philosophy I'm swinging towards. ;)arwen_tiwhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13190775746566710752noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4796229784379212331.post-48625468663163707892012-07-24T22:36:30.027+01:002012-07-24T22:36:30.027+01:00Just marvellous and to think my poor son is tied t...Just marvellous and to think my poor son is tied to a booklist and curriculum from his ever helpful "teacher" mum!!
