Let the sunshine in :)

So here we are another week round but the view from my window is quite different, a cold frosty morning with sunshine which makes all the difference to me, i love to see the sunshine even if i don't appreciate it's heat lol

So today my son should be going horse riding. As part of our Early Help it was brought up with very little discussion and when asked if he would like it i said he might. He had been to a place with horses before but they didn't ride them, they groomed them and talked about approaching them and even decorated them with chalks one day, strange but true. After last weeks session our son was sick on the way home, he sometimes mentions feeling ill on car journeys but is rarely sick, the horse session wasn't where i thought it was and as a result he was ill on the way back to school. I only know this because he text me from  his phone so i was then waiting for school to call me to pick him up which they didn't. When i asked how he got on he didn't say much to indicate one way or another how he felt just that the other boy who went was much more reluctant regarding the horses than he was. So there has been very little discussion at home since until yesterday when we were encouraging our son to organise his things ready for today and he was saying he didn't want to go. Most of his reasons for not going were in relation to the other boy which doesn't seem like a good reason not to go but he said he didn't really like it either so wrongly or not i thought oh well back to lessons for you if you don't want to go.

This morning i sent him off to school having informed them of this discussion but also telling him he needed to go and chat with the Senco lady and explain. On my return home later i am told it's a six week course and can i bring his boots in to school by which time it's too late anyway. So what do you do, i have tried explaining and not just to him (another story) that school is just that, it's a place you go every day to learn, you might not like it, the lessons or the teachers but it's just something we do. I do have very mixed feelings about school these days particularly with the difficulties we now face daily but sometimes you just wish your children would just get on with it, easy to say i know. So who knows how things will have worked out today, time will tell but to an extent i am trying not to stress unnecessarily over these things..............
