[Someone reassure me the 2 year olds eat what they need]

I think most littles are grazers. They eat what they need and nothing more. As long as you are offering healthy options when she wants something, she will be fine :)

[Help with Omega-3 Vitamins]

Have you tried Barleans? It's not a fish oil though, it's flax oil. But has lots of omega 3 in it. It is kept fresh in the frigerated section of HF stores. I had no troublesome burping with it.

[Coyotes in our area]

We have them near our property here in Az. The main problems they cause are to small animals like cats & dogs. We have had a few come up on the property of neighbors to attack their pets and drag them off :(

Looks like you got 50! But, I need 50 too. So I'll post here anyway ;)

[What if your dd didn't want to shave her legs or armpits?]

I'd be fine with it. I have friends that are in that boat, so my DD is fully aware of this topic.

So far she has decided against it.

[Spelling Curriculum Ideas?]

.

We like Spell to Write and Read by Wanda Sanseri. You do have to learn the phonograms and the spelling rules but it helps greatly. I have always been a terrible speller but it is getting better for me the more I work with the program to help my children learn to read and to spell.

 

We have spent the past 2 years just focusing on the phonograms and next year when my oldest starts 3rd we will start working with the lists and I have typed up all the charts and enrichments into worksheets she can use to really work with the words each week.

 

Just an idea but you probably want something more pick up and go.:001_smile:

 

:iagree: This worked wonders for my kids! They were 9 & 11yrs. at that time. We have used it for 2yrs. It has a little learning curve at first, but the results made it so worth it!!

[Do you assign a certain # of pages or amount of time for reading?]

We mix it up, too. For schoolwork reading, it is a certain # of pages. For free-reading, it is a certain amount of time.

:iagree:
