Wednesday

It's interesting because we have had a day much free of huffing. It has been really nice to have him just be chill and himself. But now, at 3:30 he is starting to huff a bit again.

This morning Ewen went with his sister over to the tutor's house. She has a lovely small house with a living room that is full of the morning sun and this morning the air had a lovely breeze coming through her windows. Ewen brought his book and he told me later that her living room was the best place in the world for reading a book.

It was fantastic to have a couple of hours to work and not feel bad because I'm not hands on homeschooling him. When he came home at lunch time we went for a bike ride around the historic neighborhood nearby. Then I called DH and he and Ewen rode downtown and ate lunch at a restaurant. Then he rode Ewen home afterwards. At home he went to his computer to watch Agar.io videos for half an hour for his lunch break. And when he came out of his room he looked a bit dazed. I told him that I didn't think that watching his youtube and Agario videos during the school day did anything for him. I said that I thought he should stay away from them until after our school day was done and he agreed. He did some more reading at home and will do a book report when he is done. Then on the way to pick up his sisters he watched some Brain Pop movies on my phone and that was his history lesson. Brain Pop videos are an awesome teaching tool.

Now the school day is over but he is sitting on the couch, reading and not huffing. I love the sound of the wind chime and the breeze outside. I have the front door open so we can see into the front yard and the Azaleas are blowing around in the breeze. The sun comes out and then goes behind a cloud quickly...every minute or two, because the little clouds are racing across the sky. He huffed again when he just spoke to me but at least it isn't all the time today like it was yesterday.

His sister had another very good day with no anxiety.

OK, bye for now :)
