I went to Jared's school today to pick up his supplies and P.E. uniform. It's wild to think that school will start in less than a month. I know he will be very excited to start school and see his friends again. We're hoping to accomplish a great deal more with his phonics program before school starts. Today he actually surprised me by writing out his entire name. He's never done that before (or, just not in front of me?). My heart leaps when he does something "scholarly" and unexpected. I love it!
Tomorrow, we are starting two-a-days. I don't know how you spell that, but it means the same as it meant in high school athletics (at least when I was in high school). The few weeks before school started, athletes would kick it into gear and work until they vomited. I lived in Judson high school district (they won 6 state football championships), and my next door neighbors both played football for the school. I'd remember every August, those boys would be throwing up multiple times daily, with their two-a-days. But, their coach was serious about football... and it showed!
So, tomorrow we will start early in the morning with some phonics before swim time and then hit the books again in the afternoon. Jared does have therapy with Dr. C. tomorrow, so technically, some days may be three-a-days. As long as I keep it fun and interesting, it'll be okay. I'm confident that he will make great strides the next four weeks. Go, Jared!
Victory comes from the Lord; may he bless his people. Psalm 3:8 (GNT)
