New Challenges

After three or four separate sessions with this Sunday school class worksheet, Levi was finally able to do the last few numbers today. And that was with my hand over his, giving plenty of direction. Obviously, this is not a concept he has worked on previously. I had no idea that it would be so difficult for him. It usually takes about three times before he starts to catch on to something new. He did seem to struggle with it less today.

We also worked with pattern blocks during our school time today. Levi did great with the top of the flower, but really had to work at the little green triangles in the stem. He signed for me once or twice that he was done, but I just helped a bit with the maneuvering so that he could finish up. I think that we both breathed a sigh of relief when it was time to clean up! I can imagine that great gains come from staying consistent in pushing through the things that are not always easy. Help me, Lord, know when it is time to stick with something a bit longer and when it would be best to lay it aside for the day or even week.
