Today was Nyree's last day of school. Ever.
Ok, perhaps not ever (I'm open to her returning at some point is she wants to) but from this afternoon, she officially entered homeschool.
Here's the catch: there are still two weeks left of school.
I've debated for a month about weather to allow her to finish a few weeks early. She started at her new school in May and at first things seemed to be going well. She enjoyed walking to school and seeing her "home" friends at school, and as an added bonus, her new class went to swimming lessons each week.
But as the weeks have gone on, the initial thrill has worn off. Nyree has become more and more reluctant to to go to school and increasingly unhappy with life in general. She didn't want to go to school for fun days like Sports Day and she started having trouble sleeping. Since her brother is homeschooled, she began to ask me is she could be, too.
Lee and I wanted her to finish the year. We are happy for her to homeschool from September but thought it important that she finish what she starts.
And then something unusual happened.
On Monday our car keys disappeared.
