Thanks. She is feeling a little better today and she had a good night sleep last night. Did you find her baby? Did you get back to sleep?

My 4 yr old is really independent and likes to get herself ready. I intervene when necessary. We don't get dressed right away here. We love to have a relaxing morning. What is more important, him folowing the schedule or a calmer morning?

Good Morning, Dd4 recovering from being sick so it depends. Going to try for read alouds, ask her some math questions from Ray's Arithmetic and see if she will read a Bob book. Review phonograms. More laundry,sweep and mop.

Good Morning, Are you new to gluten free? I have been GF for about 15 yrs. DD4 is feeling better not 100% but improving. Did read alouds (Lit, History and Art). Math done orally about 5 problems. Dd used the white board/chalk board for drawing. She isn't into drawing or writing. She will read to me before bed and will review phonograms. At night I read 4 books to her sometimes take about an hour depending on the books.

Hi, That was me last night except DD4 was sick. It felt like everytime I started to fall asleep she would call for me.

DD4 had times of feeling better then not. She had a good appetite. She had her allergy meds today and I have the Tylenol at my bedside if needed. Currently using steam to help. I will take her to doctor in morning. DD felt good enough to do some chores. Put away her laundry, put away the silverware (nothing sharp) and washing her plastic dishware and cups. She really likes washing things. Loves that water. I did two loads of laundry and a load of dishes. DD and DH in bed for the night. Sweeping and mopping the floors are going to be done (hopefully) before bed. Currently Mommy vegging.

My DD4 when going through a growing spurt ask for food every hour even when she was younger. Otherwise she doesn't always get a snacks.

Good Morning Dd4 not feeling well plus thunder storm with heavy rain has us home today. Need to do laundry and general house cleaning. Family day at home with Daddy

Thank you

Thank God, she fell back asleep on the recliner. Thank you for all who responded to this.

She's on her Daddys recliner watching cartoons right now. She is feeling better wit no complaints, so far. Hopefully I can get her back to sleep. Daddy's asleep and we will trade off in a while, since he is off work tomorrow.

No, she has no fever. I think it's her allergies and asthma going crazy. Mine are bothering me too. I'm just used to it. She's only 4 and just recently diagnosed with asthma. I gave her a breathing treatment and her allergy meds. Her nose is runny,she's sneezing, coughing up pheglm, cough sounded weird hence breathing treatment. Put on the steam.

My 4yr old isnt feeling well. So we are up at almost 3 in the morning.

Hello, I'm unsure about going to church this morning. My DD keeps waking up, first a nightmare, now an earache. No fever and no other complaints. Gave Tylenol for earpain. She currently is resting comfortably. The rest of the day depends on how she's doing. Need to do laundry.

No I don't know ow any fairytale's with strong female leads. To me fairytale were used to teach a lesson to kids. That's how I always saw it. YMMV. There are really good classic lit. stories with good strong females, though. Like some named above.

It's still middle of the night here and I haven't slept yet. I'm willing to take a shot at it. DD and I will wake up and go grocery shopping, 2 different stores. Come home, wake DH and make a family meal. DH off today so it's family day. Daddy promised to take DD out to yard sales. He's teaching her how to bargain and recognize quality things verses junk. Something his father taught him. Out and visit family and friends Do another load or 2 of laundry. Rest and have a quiet night. I hope.

My Dd4 is a happy child with a sunny disposition. She will defy you to your face with an angelic look on hers. Totally not what I'm used to seeing. Strong wills run very deep on my side. The Queen reigns supreme in my Mother. I'm just a highly sensitive person who hates conflict and I have a child that enjoys it. Just like her Daddy. They like to poke the bear with stick and think it's fun. That's just hyperbole not a real bear.;)

With your strong willed child?

Hello, I can relate happysmileylady. I suppose to have gone grocery shopping this morning. Didn't happen I decide not to rush my morning. Will do it tomorrow. Storytelling at the library this morning. DD4 got to play with the other kids for a while. My child has been a handful in the morning. Bought lunch for the family. So I didn't have to come home from a crazy morning to start cooking. Hubby got a sandwich for his work meal. Poor guy. Currently doing cartoons so Mommy can veg for a time and DC can mellow out. Doc McStuffins and Octonauts, gotta love them. I will do read alouds,her read, bedtime math and the whiteboard, after her bath.

Good Morning, I envy you who have to wake their kids. Mine has been an early riser since birth. She wakes me up 9/10 times. I don't wake her. No grocery shopping this morning, too much to do. Will do it tomorrow. DH needs the car for work. Storytime done. Played with friends. Bought lunch for family. DH already up. Still have to pack my DH work meal. Read Alouds, DD read a Bob book, review phonograms. Paint and play time. Don't know how this will go today. DD4 wishing to spend her time in time out. It's been one of those days. Mommy clean and try to rest a bit

Debi21 that popsicle idea is clever. I don't force mine. There isn't a point she is just as stubborn as I was. I rather go without and so does she. My daughter shares my texture issue but hers is more sensitive then mine. She will only eat slightly seasoned chicken but is okay with fruit,veggies and dairy. Not that into bread. Loves bacon but no other pork or any fish. She is not very open to new food. I wasn't a big meat eater either. Fat contents was the issue not taste. Same with her. My natural bent in childhood was more vegetarian. My DD just doesn't like veggies the way I did. I would eat anyone my DD only about 5 of them.

I know some times kids go through changes in what they like and dislike. I just want to get some ideas for mine.

Good Morning DD painting, playing, add/sub all done orally, she working on the whiteboard drawing, shapes and number. Teaching her the name of chess pieces. Read alouds. Reviewed some phonograms. Sometime today read a Bob book.

Good Morning, I really have no idea what I'm going to do today. I would love to sleep all day, I'm so tired but am a Mommy of a 4 yr old so not happening.

DD4 We did Read Alouds this afternoon - Lit, music, history and Bible. Alphablocks and Dr. Binocs on YouTube. Phonics and science programs. Playgroup at the library a couple hours. DD and I went on a walk and visited a neighbor. DD painting
