So now he has 3/4s of a school years work to do between now and June. She wasn't making any attempt to 'school' him, so I'm doing it over the internet.
He's being a real champ about it, and sticking with me for about 6 hours a day. He tells me that I am 'hard core' when it comes to school.
Wish I didn't have to be 'hard core', but if I don't do it this way, it won't get done.
Unfortunately, we will be working weekends, too.
This little guy was "with" me from 2 years old until 8 years old. We're very close. DD is an 'idea' person. She gets an idea and everyone else has to pick up the pieces when the idea doesn't work. Unfortunately, DGS is in Ohio and I am in SC, so much as I would love to take him to a quilt show, it's just not going to happen.
My DH tells me I can't save the world...true, but I want so much to help this one child become a good man.
Thanks for your thoughts.
