We went to the first of the program I am trying to access the other day. They offered us a trial membership. It was great, but I wasn't expecting it to affect us all so much. It was only a couple of hours long. But my LO just came alive. We hadn't even started - we were just waiting for our names to be checked off and my LO started watching a little girl write - with all of the frustration of not getting it right and all that - and he wanted to write. That is only the second time he has even tried. And it wasn't perfect, but he didn't care!
Then we went in and he was chatting to everyone, and showing off his knowledge and asking questions. The people in charge were talking to him and listening to him. I got teary and I had to leave the room for a second. I really wasn't expecting it to affect me in that way! I still can't even really say why it affected me so, but even now I keep getting emotional thinking about it.
And my LO - it was like a light switching on! He was so enthusiastic and excited. He was really playing with the other children, and they were picking up his ideas and playing with them. He was still all 'alight' the next day, investigating things, asking lots of questions, just so beautiful to see.
I just needed to tell someone who might understand.
