I dye my hair red, my natural color is nearly espresso brown, and I have suffered from hot pink roots a time or two as I didn't understand the lift that has to happen on virgin roots. For future reference, this is what my stylist taught me to do when I do it myself:
Once you pick a red color to dye your hair, find another color one or two shades darker red than your hair will be. Mix 1/2 oz of the darker red with 1/2 oz of the red you want your hair to be. You will mix with developer and apply that to your roots and it will keep them from getting bright. You leave that on 45 minutes. At the 15 minute mark, apply the original red you want to the rest of your hair and wait 30 minutes. Wash hair.
So at Sallys, I use a 6R as my main color. I get a 4R (2 shades darker red) and mix equal parts of the 4R with 6R and the combo makes around a 5R, ..or around 1 shade darker than my main hair color. Once I apply the new mix to my roots, then apply the original color (4R) to the rest of my hair, and wash.... i can't even tell i have used 2 different colors. It all looks the same and no scare of bright pink roots. I'm super happy with these results. I have to re-do my hair about every 4 wks because of the fade and in the summer I wear hats outside to make it last a touch longer.
I'm confused-- you put the lighter color on your roots or the other way around?

So hard when they are so little!!

It was sweet, tedious at times. Complicated enough that we were surprised the idea made it past the development phase of production. I didn't like how Riley was essentially a puppet controlled by her emotions.
However, the kids enjoyed it. It made the brain and emotions more concrete to them and has spurred on some fantastic discussions.

Question-- does the amount protruding look worse or the actual hole? Push it it and feel for the hole in the muscle wall. That may not be growing itself. More or less intestine can pop out and look different yet the hole can remain the same.

All 3 of mine had them and they have gradually turned into cute little outies. My oldest looked like your baby when she was several months old but she was a preemie so she weighed half as much at the time. I also have had an umbilical hernia myself. Was an outie as a child then a painful lump at age 16 requiring surgery. Needed it fixed again after childbirth. If you are able to push it in with ease then you can probably wait and watch. I put off my own hernia repair for years bc of this-- every now and then I would have difficulty getting it back in but then was ultimately successful. If you can't get it back in then it can strangulate and go bad fast. (Happened to my dad with a hiatal hernia). Being that it is something you will see every time you change a diaper, you can keep an eye on it and make sure it can move (you don't want it to be hard to the touch). Considering how much your child has left to grow if it was mine I'd probably give it time to watch and wait.

That's great! Just forwarded to Dh.

Ds had extremely low working memory scores (everything else was high or very high). That was the tip off that he had ADHD. Your dr can help you know better if it is ADHD and if he warrants a med trial. Good thing is that meds are in and out of the system--don't need to build up. You can try a week to see if it helps. You'll know if it does.

You'll have to check with your local grotto. The government has closed a lot, from what I have heard, but there are many many caves on private land that allow ppl to visit. The info about these is held by local grottos and is usually not available online. For private caves there is a gear cleaning protocol after you visit a cave. Now experts are saying that the disease has been found places that covers don't go, that caver transmission is questioned. Even so it's easier for the gov't to keep them closed.
We have just recently done this (Dh and kids 3x, me just once). If you have safety conscious people leading you it is a homeschooler's dream!! History, geology.... The one we went to last week had a civil war salt mine in it-- you could see the pick marks! The substance they mined was turned into gun powder. It was on private land. We had to go up to the front porch of the land owner's house to sign a waiver and pay $8/each caver.
Dh first went to our local grotto meeting where he heard about a multi-state annual convention with organized tours etc. He took the kids to that event and befriended another family who was the one that took us to the civil war cave. They are experts--taught us how to handle obstacles in the cave. One of them was always at the front/back of the line and their sweet 11yo was always there to lend a hand or foot to brace me. We saw some organized groups go through and our friends were livid that the other people had shorts and no helmets. Safety is a must in that world. As a beginner j would not go without an expert guide. Once you join that world it seems to be a tight group-- there is a brotherhood of caves which I believe is why it was so easy to connect with this other family.
I am not outdoorsy-- I'm a self described "good sport" camping participant. I'll tell you-- I'm hooked on caving after one trip!

If you are outdoorsy I recommend going to your local grotto meeting and go on a bona-fide wild cave tour. Skip the tourist places and see the real deal. We have recently gotten into that and WOW!!!!

They recommend boiling water for 1 minute. As if...

If it's fiberglass get it totally clean then do a treatment of gel-gloss every 6 months. That keeps the knobbie things from getting icky in the first place. Then scrubbing bubbles and a white pad are all you need in the mean time. A white pad with gel gloss can get some of the ick off if the scrubbing bubbles can't. Home Depot has it. If it's not in the cleaning section it'll be near the granite/kitchen
Sink section.

I have had an older version of this from rei. Seals edges but leaves space around eyes so you can blink. http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00CMPGKP0/ref=pd_aw_sim_198_1?refRID=06CBC8896G902MMDV7WK
Lost it and recently bought Bucky eye mask but have not used yet.

We had a 30yo vitamix finally bite the dust this year. Love the ninja we replaced it with but we did buy a bunch of extra cups. 8? they are awesome and the kids love making their own. My only issue is how doggone loud it is. Louder than the vm. It is easier to use and blends better than the old vm.

Do this and see how your child fares:

If she does poorly this is probably the cause so thr first step would be remediation in the area of phonemic awareness.

Probably needs more automaticity in his fact recall. I'd have him do reflex math daily starting now. Start with addition/subtraction then switch to the multiplication/division part.

AWANA is fantastic but is tremendously volunteer intensive. We do it at another church and the kids love it. I did it as a child.

If they can put together clues in the show Blue's Clues, they are inferencing at a very basic level.

Yes you absolutely can teach inference at this level. it is just taking clues from the text and using what you already know to figure out what is not stated directly. The best way to teach it at this point is to model it using picture books that provide plenty of opportunities to make inferences. Read the book aloud and pause to think aloud about what you figure out. Model thinking aloud with books like this a number of times, gradually asking your child more and more to help you figure things out. I would not expect them to do this on their own until they had seen you do it a lot and do it with you.

When I was in high school for national honor society I had to do a number of community service hours. I tutored other high school kids in math for my hours. Perhaps you can see if this is still the case and contact nhs sponsors at nearby high schools?

They are probably asking for curriculum because of RTI (response to intervention). There are certain hoops to jump through regarding eligibility and one is showing poor progress despite intervention with research-based methods.
