How’s that for an eye catching blog title?

With homeschooling we were able to rearrange Taryn’s therapies to times that are easier, less traffic, better for her stamina and mood. She goes to OT once per week and we started her in Equine therapy about 3 weeks ago. She absolutely LOVES it. She’s such a natural, each person who has worked with her so far has asked how long she’s been riding and are genuinely shocked to hear she’s so new at it. She looks so poised and graceful. And comfortable! She directs the horse and just has the amazing connection to horses, it’s beautiful to watch. And it is so good for her. We are already seeing big gains in […]

When we started he looked at me with big bright eyes and said “Hey, I know this!!!”. I’d say our biggest obstacle today was how much more Taryn got distracted because she was seeing what Teagan […]

hahaha! Just kidding. Her glare is the result of me taking her photo, not her opinion on homeschooling day 1. We loved it, both of us, absolutely loved it! I’m so thankful to have the first day knocked out. We got a bit of a late start because we overslept but once all our boys were out the door for the day and we got started, it went so smooth. She listened well, I didn’t have to correct behavior or remind her or even redirect. She worked diligently through math, reading, writing, spelling, English, geography, civics, art/music, science, animal sciences and computer. We are still waiting […]
