~*Hellooooooooo Indigo!*~

Because Indi was too tired to go and visit Nancy after baby group on Wednesday I had to plan my day around giong there and going to the Home Ed group at noon and walking Sky!
We left the house at 9am to visit Nancy, left Nancy’s at 10:45 to pick up Sky from the house and be on the train at 11:15, at Mum’s at 11:30 where I gave Indi a quick feed then we got to the HE group at 12:10! Left the group at 14:45, had some food at Mum’s (Very yummy homemade soup and breadrolls!) took the dogs for an hour’s walk and then met Jeff from work at 17:30. It’s no wonder Indi and I went to bed at 8!
Oh, and all this is after I’d been woken at 3AM by Indi screaming and getting just 45 mins kip before getting on with the day!

Anyway, the Home Ed group was FANTASTIC!
I’ve never felt so at home with a bunch of people in real life. They’re pro: breastfeeding, co-sleeping, non-vaxing, babywearing and the majority of them do unschooling, hooray! Their children were happy, energetic things and not a single one of them was overweight or unhealthy (I see so many unfit kids struggling to run around at playtime in schoolyards ). There were 11 kids there and just 1 of them was a girl. Kate (the organiser) was telling me that when girls get to a certain age they end up wanting to return to school due to wanting to be with more girls their own age. No problems with that here!
I was given loads of advice and Mum, who was contemplating taking Connor out of school, has been given the confidence to take him out the year before he goes to comprehensive. She says his handwriting and other skills don’t seem to be good enough for him to take into comprehensive school. Mum won’t be going down the unschooling route though, quite the opposite obviously!
For my little guy I prefer to unschool. I’ll have to convince Jeff about it - he thinks we can set up the front room as a classroom *HORROR*!!! Plenty of time for all that though!
Indi slept through the first hour of us being there but as soon as he was awake he was whisked away to be cooed over! Even some of the kids wanted to hold and cuddle him!
There’s another meeting in a fortnight and we’re taking Connor to meet the other children, he’s really excited about it, although that might be helped by having the day off school!

Indi’s stirring now so I’d better go and try and get some food in me before he makes that impossible!
