As this weeks’ #WASO theme is ‘Stories’, I have asked Buzzbee for permission to share with you a narrative he recently described to me while walking Beedog to our local field and woods, about how the stream that separates the field from the woods made him think about how he struggles with going to school.
Rather than try and describe it to you in my own words and because I am now home educating. Buzzbee and I have spent the week making a model of his description and then with the help of his Lego people, his camera, and mummy’s laptop. He has created a story board to help tell his story.
Oh goodness me – this needs a warning to prepare yourself with tissues! Beautiful, expressive and touching – and what a great first week of home educating you must have had!
Sending you a virtual box of kleenex.
True to form, when Buzz first described it to me, I wasn’t prepared for it and had to walk a few steps behind him for a few minutes in order to not let him see the tears that were rolling down my cheeks.
I really like what you have done here to help Buzzbee explain his feelings. Creative family!!
I love what you amd Buzzbee have done here. A very creative way of getting the lad to express his feelings. However I also needed to find the tissues after reading this. Glad to hear home educating is going ok.
Send virtual hankie your way. I am really proud of him. It isn’t easy for him to open up like this.
Yes please I could have done with the “tears alert” too. What a powerful and moving post and what a brilliant way to help him express his feelings. Seems to me you are doing some amazing work with him at home, you should both feel very proud.
Thank you for that. Bumble read it last night and he started to well up. Buzz is amused or is that bemused at why grown ups are “so soppy”.
What a great accomplishment to complete a project like this and wonderfully creative way to express how you feel. Thanks for sharing Buzzbee, you are obviously clever and creative!
Thank you. Buzzbee is quite confused by why people think he has done well. He has spent so much time thinking he is “rubbish” at everything. It is hard for him to acknowledge his achievements. We are proud of him.
I need some of those tissues too. Well done to Buzzbee for expressing himself and to you too for enabling him to share this.
Thank you. Virtual hankie winging your way. I have already said it but I am really proud of him. He is a switched on little man and now without the pressure of school he is very gradually becoming more confident at showing us what he can do.
