Homeschooling at the Mater


Today we took along our books, quite a supply of food, toys, etc. and headed to the Mater hospital for Owen's ENT (ear, nose, throat) appointment. We are used to these appointments taking quite some time. Out came the books and Joshua began his English work... Owen kept many in the waiting room entertained by his cuddly antics. Joshua managed to make a few friends (very hard for him to keep his head in his books when there is someone to befriend nearby).

We met quite a few children with different disabilities - some much more noticable than others. Disability or none - I was surprised yet again just how easily Joshua made friends with children that probably find it hard to find a friend who doesn't want to stare and ask many questions first... I thank the Lord that he uses our Joshua to make friends with others. I pray that the Lord would use his friendliness for His glory!
