Oscar and Me

Class out the front of the Royal Academy of Art with rear end of monstrous sheet metal tyranosaurous


Oscar is home educating now. I had a talk with the head teacher on Monday. He is very supportive!! At this point, we are working towards getting Oscar confident with writing and reading, so that he doesn't feel like he is the dumbest in the class. And the plan is build his confidence so that he can rejoin the school in September - with one of the best teachers at the school. Really though, we are just going to play and play.
Playing in Green Park (right near Buckingham Palace)

Yesterday we went with the school to the Royal Academy and saw a lovely exhibition on the drawings of Monet - not those wishy washy gardens of his. But incredible illustrations, caricatures (the funnest) and seaside landscapes with pastel. It was Oscars last day at school - what a great memory of his class and teacher.

HIP HIP HOORAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY!!!
we're so excited for you.
play play play play!!
the confidence will definitely come and they'll wonder WHATEVER DID YOU DO? he he he
hey, can you see if they have this book at your library?
"Your Child's Self Esteem" by Dorothy Corkille Briggs. She's English, so I'm thinking it might be more available there than here. If you can't get it, I'm going to send you a copy. I'm reading it and it's life-altering. I really want to share it with you.
xoxo
p.s. congrats to you for finding the confidence to do this! TRUST TRUST TRUST!
