Leanna wanted to go to the Halloween party but was adamant that she would NOT sleep over. I was glad she was going to the party, because it'd be fun for her, she'd get a chance to spend time with some of the girls from Brownies without the more formal atmosphere, and it also proves she isn't a social misfit-as is often thought about homeschoolers (which was her school last year's conclusion about her as well).
She was determined to be a princess and I haven't finished, well, even started, her halloween costume yet. So we rumaged through her dress up clothes but didn't find anything that fit anymore. So we ended up with a dress from her closet combined with a few dress up clothes accesories.
She was supposed to call when she was ready to go home, but the call never came. When we called there she begged to sleep over. 'So Tom drove her stuff over and then in the morning, she never called to come home again! When I called her, she wanted to stay until everyone else went home! She had such a good time. They did face painting and painted pumpkins and had coloring contest and played games. The girl's mother said Leanna was welcome back anytime, so clearly Leanna's problem was not being unable to make or maintain friendships (as the school suggested). The mom also told me that she homeschooled her older son for three years because he has asperger's syndrome. She said then it got to hard and she ended up with either a private tutor or a private school.
