joseph is shy and sometimes painfully so. i try my hardest to get him to involve himself in things, but it's not always easy (or always possible). recently in the school newsletter, they sent home an announcement about a stem (science technology engineering maths) course, focusing on building techniques with bricks. a lego kind of thin, including the technic style, to build bridges, gears, pulleys etc.
considering his love for lego, i thought it was a wonderful opportunity to get him involved in something that didn't have any of us near him. to allow him to grow, to extend his comfort zone and to just be him. be him with no one from the family to hide behind.
he is actually loving it and seeing these updates from the organisers is amazing. i can see he is enjoying himself. well worth the money i'd say!
