Week One Done!

Well, my little man completed his first week at Pickering Christian School and the Arrowsmith Program.  We've had a number of tears and meltdowns but, all in all, things haven't gone too badly.  Ryan is getting used to his new demands and routines.  Let me tell you, his new routines are quite demanding!  He has gone from no homework to 40 minutes per day.  Starting next week that will change to 70 minutes per day, 6 days per week!  The journaling is his biggest challenge...trying to come up with topics each day is difficult.  The other challenge is having to do his exercises SLOWLY.  Ryan likes to rush through everything! It's all good lessons for him just the transition is difficult.  Having said that, not one time has he ever even mentioned the words quit, can't, don't want to go to school tomorrow.  He's showing that he has great strength of character.  It's pretty cool!
