Aw, in those ways her presentation isn't going to be particularly good and I don't care. I struggle more with the idea that she has enjoyed the learning behind this project so much and I didn't want to screw that up by starting to become demanding or by turning it into something unfun at the end that ended up ruining her experience with it or with learning. (But she did have to finish it.)
I don't really understand the intensity she has when it comes to all things history. It is strange and scares me, but I think a lot of it probably comes with just needing so much context in order to understand events.
And just because I can't talk about this stuff with my friends, I will add: She has dyspraxia and had a miserable kindergarten year. But she's getting so much better. Yesterday she finished her entire week's homework in about 45 minutes. Writing is getting easier and more automatic for her!!!
Also, she wanted us to pretend like we were students, and at one point, she looked at me and asked if I was okay. I said, "yes," but she she came and patted me softly on the shoulder anyway and said, "I know war is scary, but I am only going to talk about it for a second and then it will be over. Okay?"
It was very sweet. Last night was a good night.
