My husband had some various eye things as a kid and also had to wear a patch! He was also lucky with parents willing to keep a patch on a little one ❤️

Sounds like we had the same thing! I’ll always be grateful my parents did that for me. I also had to have 3 surgeries. I can’t imagine taking my 3 month old baby in for eye surgery. They were really brave for me.

Sounds like you’ve found a great set up! I have found that teaching print first and moving to cursive in third grade has been a seamless transition. It is also a really neat rite of passage for my kids to move into the “older kids group” in our homeschool once they begin cursive. I remember that transition fondly myself!

I love that! My oldest learned cursive first and it was way easier for her to transition to print later.. My youngest did the opposite and I think she'll mostly always write in print. It's not a huge deal but my oldest handwriting is so nice. She learned it at school before we homeschooled. I'm not sure it matters that much in the long-term as long as they develop that hand/eye writing technique =)
