Cairns. We live on the Great Barrier Reef. It is very tropical here and we are surrounded by rainforest on one side of us and ocean on the other.<BR/><BR/>We have an amazing and spectular variety of wildlife. I LOVE this place.<BR/><BR/>In terms of home schooling. WE were resistant to home schooling for about 6 months. When things got so bad for Boy at school, I decided that home schooling couldn't be worse. I was scared and angry that my life had to change. Mellissa...it was one of the best things I have ever done. Boy is so settled and happy. His meltdowns have decreased, he is learning, he is playing and our home is peaceful again.<BR/><BR/>Previously we could not have done an animal audit like the one above because Boy just wouldn't have participated. It is home schooling that has turned our life around.<BR/><BR/>Take care, stay safe.Megan Baylisshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04549696888232735259noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3210208353734918046.post-16134712454547439372007-03-09T03:45:00.000+10:002007-03-09T03:45:00.000+10:00Not much is more inspiring than the beauty of natu...Not much is more inspiring than the beauty of nature.<BR/><BR/>Thank you for entering the contest.

I've got my fingers crossed! What part of the country are you in? I need to dig around on your blog a little more. <BR/>I'm also inspired that you are homeschooling. Your son has Aspergers? My son has Autism. And the thought of homeschooling him scares me. But, I am considering doing it with my other kids... :)Melissahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14908930035466483151noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3210208353734918046.post-74448669057282769752007-03-08T09:31:00.000+10:002007-03-08T09:31:00.000+10:00You would be most welcome Elisheva.Thank you for y...You would be most welcome Elisheva.<BR/><BR/>Thank you for your inspiration. We had a ball counting off the animals and check listing what we have seen in our local area.<BR/>Step Dad and Boy followed up by doing an audit of Baked Beans in the cupboard, chairs in the lounge room and rooms in the house. AS boring as that sounds, Boy stayed focused on it for an hour and ten minutes. Perhaps knowing that audits can be fun was inspirational for Boy.Megan Baylisshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04549696888232735259noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3210208353734918046.post-81364914889791325852007-03-07T12:36:00.000+10:002007-03-07T12:36:00.000+10:00Wow!I am saving my pennies.
