Change - a new world for both of us!

Watermelon eating contest at the White Pine County Fair 8/21/10

Hunk # 3, JT, will be starting a new adventure tomorrow.  So will I!

His dad and I decided to enroll him into the new school hunk #2 is attending! Calvary Chapal Green Valley Christian Academy!

JT has been homeschooled since 4/07.  He is very bright, loves science, engineering, anything military, and reading!

The opportunity came up for us to enroll Hunk #2 a month ago.  We were asked if we were going to consider putting JT in as well, since he is in highschool. I think my efforts for homeschooling a highschooler were doubted.

We said no.... or I did anyway.  JT needs to work on 2 items, writing skills and penmanship. He needs to work on fine motor skills for his penmanship.

Well, come last Friday morning, Hubby and I were sipping coffee on the back patio.  Hunk #2 had just left for school.  I said something like.... ' I'd almost be interested in putting JT in to the CCGVCA as well.'   My Hubby, who is usually very much against spending any money, immediately said 'Yes, let's do it.'  Hunk #2 was given a very generous scholarship, and I asked the school if they would do that for JT.  Immed. they said 'Yes!'

So it's done!

He starts tomorrow. They are happy to work with him on his writing skills. They are happy to work with him on his fine motor skills (I will be as well here at home.) He is so excited! I am so excited for him! I am soooo sad!  My baby! Leaving me! Huh?

This is opening up a whole new world for me.  The dynamics will be different here during the day.  Hunk #4 and Chicklet do their own diff. math lessons, but otherwise, everything else is together.  I wonder if we'll be done earlier or later?  JT is a very good student, does his work without complaining, doesn't require a lot from me. However, I made sure we interacted, he wasn't totally alone, and I was always within talking distance if he needed me for lessons.  However, his absence during the day will have some effect.  I will miss him!  I think, though, the other 2 and I can go more into depth and fun with our studies.

A challenge. A new adventure.

I just let one son go, (hunk #1 to the USNA), I'm not sure I'm ready to let another one go so soon, even if it's only for a few hrs a day.  Does that make sense?

I don't have to make sense, it's my blog.
