N and I are both sick with the flu at the moment so we're having a bit of a slow day. Took S to school in the morning and then climbed back into bed and N decided to hop in for a cuddle and a sleep as well. By the time we both woke up we'd also been joined by 3 cats! This is one of the things I'm loving so much about homeschooling; without the constant peer-group pressure to grow up and act cool, N still feels free to do things that other teenagers his age wouldn't and sees nothing wrong or unusual with still coming to mum for cuddles.

S came home from school at lunchtime today as he has spares in the afternoon on Thursday, and they've been actually playing together on the computer and co-operating! This hardly ever happens so I'm over the moon. S even bought N a game so they could play together. It's seeming as he's getting less anxious that they are actually starting to get along a little more as time goes on. I can only hope! So no schoolwork today, I've called an official sick day, but the wonderful thing about homeschooling is that learning is all around us and continuous whether we plan it or not.
