And the others . . .

Short Stuff may have been the reason we started on this journey, but we soon discovered that our two right behind her also had some learning difficulties. Homeschooling just made sense! We were able to cater to their specific needs.
This is an old picture of when they were little, but I just love it. Little Man is in the middle. Short Stuff is on the left and Tinker is on the right. Now they are 14, 12, and 10! They are growing up so fast.
Little Man was diagnosed with ADHD and a spelling disorder (whatever that means!) and we are currently just treating him with diet. He doesn't always like it, but he is very good about reading labels and saying "no thank you". Now that he is hitting puberty, we have noticed that the diet doesn't help as much as it used to. But it is how we manage.
Tinker was diagnosed with an anxiety disorder and slow processing speeds and weak eye tracking muscles. She is my "spacey macy" This is the kid that literally will just walk into a wall. Thankfully she has an amazing attitude and just laughs at herself all the time. She is currently just attending occupational therapy to work on these things. We have seen improvement.
So these are my kids (I have three younger ones that appear to have no learning issues) and why we do, what we do.
