Jude has crossed his rubicon.....

well at leasts that is how Grandad explained it.

Watching Jude learn has reminded me how absolutely different each one has learnt along the way. It is marvellous to see how the Lord makes each one of us so special and unique. Jude has not picked up writing as early as Eden, or Niamh(or reading for that matter). But even when Niamh started writing at an early age, she still had problems with neatness and forming the letters even up until she had just turned 6, so I honestly thought Jude would take a lot longer. But this week he surprised me. He was learning to write the numbers and getting really frustrated that he couldn't do a number 3. But one of the nights this week he suddenly got it(see page below), and it was like everything else fell into place too. He wanted to write everybody's name all of a sudden, and all he wanted to do was write, write, write. He wasn't even happy with writing from 1 -10 anymore, he wanted to go further past 10 and on and on. Every day this week has been so fruitful with Jude, his appetite for learning and schoolwork has been great. I am blessed to be by his side and witness him learning these important milestones, it is just sooooo rewarding.
