On another thread it was mentioned that each American Girl had a hobby or art form that she was passionate about. I would like to know if any of the protagonists or their close friends are interested in playing a musical instrument and if so which American Girl(s) and what instrument(s)? Dd7 has read a few American Girl books and has shown an interest in playing musical instruments.
My dd loves Cam Jansen books, they are easy for her now but she still enjoys them. I bought a few of the Rainbow Fairy books for dd when she was younger but she never really fell in love with them. I would use the library to get an idea what she likes if you can.
On the subject of harps, I agree with the bolded in regard to concert/pedal harps. However, folk/Celtic harps tend to be much less expensive. I am currently looking at new harp that would be an upgrade for me that would cost less than $600.
:iagree:That sort of thinking by schools is probably somewhere in the top 5 reasons I homeschool. When authorities say things like that I am not inclined to trust them at all.
:iagree:I would also state that you found the grocery list confusing since in your experience the person you care for does not eat x, y and z. I would state that I would also be reluctant to do someone's laundry w/o knowing if they have sensitivites to certain detergents or work with other clients who do or if their clothing requires any other special care.
I would definitely try to find out the rules from a supervisor. Ideally, I would try to get a copy of the rules in writing. If the same receptionist keeps telling you different rules, the next time she does I would ask to speak to her supervisor.
