We are also in the Denver area. My grandson lives with us and receives therapy. He has therapy through Rocky Mountain Human Services. They do both speech and PT. His OT is with Children's Hospital main campus. He received referrals through his doc at Children's. He is only 18 months. I know that If they are in school they can receive therapy at school. I would push to get your doc to give you a referral if possible. That makes it so much easier.

One of my daughter's name is Emiline Rose. We call her Emmy Rose or just Emmy. She loves it. Not popular and everyone comments on how pretty her name is.

Congratulations! That is so exciting for her! I am just wondering what gym she compete for. We live in MS but my daughter competes for a gym in Collierville, TN. We compete in several TN meets and I didn't recognize her leo!

We started homeschooling my 11 year old three years ago because of competitive gymnastics. She is at the gym an average of 30 hours a week. There is a large number of homeschoolers at our gym so the girls have practice during the day. Some days they start practice by 10 am. There are probably 20 or so girls that are homeschooled in levels 7-10. Once you are a level 9 and 10, it is almost required with the amount of time that is put into gymnastics.

My gymnast is gearing up for the new season. She has a home meet in two weeks, but her competitive season doesn't really begin until January. She is going to be a repeat level 7 this year. Last year she battled a broken foot so only competed in three meets with her foot taped! She did place first on beam at each of the meets even with a broken foot! She just got out of a cast for a broken hand so we decided with her injuries and new rules she needed to repeat level 7. She is ready and working on perfecting those skills!

That's great! I have a 10 year old gymnast too so I peeked at your videos. I was surprised when I saw the video from Gymstars!! That is our gym!! We have a homeschool program where the the homeschool girls can practice during the day. Such a small world....

HipGal please clean out your PM box so I can pm about the Mosdos literature set. Thanks Kelli

I have decided to actually take part in the challenge this week rather than just stalk the thread! Last week I finished The Girl Who Kicked the Hornet's Nest. I enjoyed the last of the trilogy but I didn't think it was a good as the first two. This week I am reading Fire which is the second in a young adult series. I'm not loving it but will finish it!

I am planning on my 4th grader doing about 16 hours per week (4 hr/day for 4 days a week)!

:iagree: We used CLE reading 3 at the beginning of the year. Every single lesson has religious content. I think it would be very hard to use it completely secular.

I am so SAD that James left. He had the most talent.

Thanks! I'm off to look!

Must be done everyday-

Wow!

For my three oldest girls, about two years in average. They all started in the spring of their sixth grade year so around 12. My youngest is nine and is a gymnast so I hope she will be a later bloomer!

Yep!

This has happened to me several times. More often it is a feeling I get. One example was when I was in college (3 hours from home), I had a feeling something was wrong with my dad. He had had heart issues in the past and I just felt like something was not right when I woke up that morning. I called the house and no one answered and of course there were no cell phones back in the day! So, I immediately called the CCU waiting room at the hospital where he had been in the past. My mom actually answered the phone and was surprised to be talking to me. He was actually having emergency surgery getting a stent put in. So, yes, I believe and whenever I get the feeling, I trust it!

I'm interested in these as well. :bigear: I will have a 4th grader and plan to use RSO Chemistry. I have thought about supplementing with The Elements.

:grouphug: Prayers for the babies and for you and your family.

I love J Jill and Anthropologie.

:iagree: Go for the gift card idea: Starbucks, Bookstore, restaurant. They are always appreciated.

Unfortunately I tend to celebrate this day everyday!

:iagree: Usually nothing is done for a broken toe. Just tape the injured toe to the one next to it. For pain management, ice the toe several times a day and give a pain reliever like tylenol or motrin.

Here's what I have planned: Math: TT5 and either MM or Singapore Language Arts: Rod and Staff 4 and WWE 3 Science: RSO Chemistry History: Continuing with American History Part 2 plus a State Study Logic: Logic Safari Book 2 Vocabulary: I haven't decided yet This is my plan but who knows if I will actually commit!

Congrats! Post a pic!
