The Joy of New Horizons

We decided that the boys could double up on schoolwork, in exchange for a day off tomorrow (Biggest boy’s birthday 😀 )

That still meant that Biggest boy had to finish a story he’d been set – we’ve come to a point that the half-a-page half-thought-out mini stories he usually does are not enough… Hubby took him through bullet points/outlines (again), then set him his task.

This morning he found that he actually CAN write a longer story – just over 1000 words, in fact! He’s very proud of himself, and now has a glimpse of the fact that he is capable of so much more 😀

It’s obviously quite a funny story, as well, judging from the giggling going on in his room while he was writing….
