Thanksgiving break, although full of sickness, was good.
Here is a picture of Becky playing hospital with Esther. Esther and the babies are sick and Becky was caring for them. It was so cute!
At the end of Thanksgiving break we went out to ice cream. It was freezing outside, but we did it.
Reuben also had his first piano lesson this week! He's been asking for a while for lessons and we just haven't been able to add it in. Here we go! This is a pre-lesson photo.
At his lesson they have a nursery and the girls LOVED playing in the little playroom. Bonus points!
We have some big changes coming up. Besides reducing school a bit with the kids, we are quitting our Monday co-op. For the past few months we have been going to a Belle Ame co-op and it's been so fun. The co-op is expanding to an all day thing and I am just not up for that. The kids agreed, and we are happy to stop. It's good be on track as a family on at least one thing!
Reuben will be doing Cognitive Therapy starting next year. I am hoping it can help with his dyslexia and visual processing issues. Becky will be starting the Barton reading program for her dyslexia and will do cognitive therapy this coming May. It's a 12 week program and I am hopeful Reuben can get his done in 12 weeks and then we can start Becky who definitely needs it too--I just couldn't do both kids at once. The program is intense and I wanted to be able to focus on each one's needs individually instead of being pulled two ways at once...
When will I sleep? I don't know. But I do think these things will help my kids.
The Barton Reading specialist will come to our house.
We are also seeing a homeopath for Becky. Here is to growth, healing and abiding in Christ in 2025.
