Tooth number two emerged today!
Who won the office pool?
For those keeping score
Lydia is brilliant
Today my mother’s helper was here. Lydia is cranky because she still has a runny nose and a cough. She hung out with the mother’s helper for about two hours before getting super fussy. At that point, the mother’s helper brought her back to the office. Lydia got all excited, snuggled into my arms, wiggling [...]
One thing I just don’t get
Ok, quick intro - Jess moved out a couple of months ago - originally she was living in an apt with a teen mom. She lasted about 5 weeks there before moving in with another friend. Just before moving out of the apt with the teen mom, Jess got $3000 from a car accident she [...]
Germs crawling from the walls
Well since I last posted, we have been sick. Lydia hasn’t displayed ANY mobility (except perhaps snot) since then, and various other household members have been sick to some degree or another. I fear that my turn is coming - my tummy hurts.
School - haven’t done that in over a week - the days that [...]
she’s mobile
Lydia wasn’t mobile before her nap…but now she is. Not crawling, but gaining some major distance in the scooting dept. Its odd, because when I say she wasn’t mobile - I mean she didn’t move! She would sorta roll around, and she would get up on her hand or on her knees, but really seemed [...]
Why can’t she ask the easy questions?
You know, like why is the sky blue, or how does water get in our sink faucets - where do babies come from - Stuff like that. Instead she asks about the banking system, and evolution, and how language evolved, what the “first” people wore, and Santa/Easter Bunny/Tooth fairy - and not easy questions about [...]
trend on my mailing lists
In the past couple of weeks, I have noticed a bit of a trend with regards to postings on my email lists. I belong to several lists, most being homeschool lists. I mostly lurk, often not even reading the messages. Lately, in the messages I have been reading, I’m noticing a LOT of posts saying [...]
I offer the following as further evidence that I have the coolest kids
I was feeding Lydia breakfast and she was spitting after each bite. I kept going “no no no Lydia, please don’t spit bananas on Mommy”, to which she would spit more at me (she loves to spit, but loves it more when she has ammo in there). After this going on for a while, Allison [...]
three - two - one - BLAST OFF!
We have moved back to our original reading lessons - 100EZ lessons, and scrapped Original Parent’s Guide for the time being. We liked the stories in 100EZ lessons - and Original Parent’s Guide seemed a bit forced. Plus Allison just didn’t seem to get as much from the way the material is presented - phonograms/pure [...]
what’s going on here
supposed to be 73 degrees today and only 33 degrees with up to 6 inches of snow tomorrow?
