2008 has been an interesting year for Ethan as it was in February this year that we decided to give Home Schooling a go after a disasterous attempt to get him into pre-school. The facility itself was lovely as were the staff but we discovered that Ethan suffered from terrible separation anxiety resulting in him becoming very distressed and making himself sick within seconds if I even attempted to leave him. I stayed with him twice a week for over a term but it got no better and the staff found that even if I went to the loo that he was impossible to console. Also he wouldn't allow the staff to physically touch him making it very difficult for them to reassure or cuddle him in my [short] absence. So, after much discussion between us all including grand parents, we decided to take him out of school and give home ed. a go. It's suits us well for now and Ethan is thriving on it. I'll write more about this later.
This is him at a Home Ed. coffee morning dressed as 'Firefighter Ethan' [obviously]. They're held at my friend Sarah's house and we go often to play with her little ones.
Smart in his new shirt!!
