So, God has put it on our hearts (mine and Joshua's) for a while that we want to homeschool. Actually, we have known it since before Ruthie was born, but I "fell ill" after Ruthie was born and it looked like an impossibility. I got pretty sick and went from doctor to doctor to find a diagnosis and treatment. After Zeke was born, I found an awesome doctor who did both. We also dealt with some behavior problems with Ruthie. We felt that her attending a preschool with a structured schedule would be good for her (and it was), also I was still dealing with some flare ups that are standard for autoimmune disorders.
Though it was still a desire (and a calling, we felt) for us to homeschool, it was looking more and more like an impossibility. But, turns out that the structure of public preschool was great for Ruthie and her behavior became better, more manageable. Also, my Remicade infusion therapy had my flare-ups, basically under control. We praise God for Dr. Chi and his wisdome...and endurance and insistance that the drug company pay for my Remicade treatments (because it's never been used for my condition before).
Although, we feel that Ruthie should attend kindergarten in the fall, Zeke will be at home with me for another year (for preschool). Then he will be in kindergarten. After that, we'll see what God has in store. But, for now, we have some confirmation...This summer is our "test run."
