[Baby bathtubs]

I know they make something that is like a flat flower that kind of bends, 5 petals, this is just my interpretation, and you can put that in a sink, but I personally would be scared to use such a thing... Why, you ask. Flailing baby arms, hands and feet, I would be afraid one of the water handles would be knocked or grabbed by baby.

This is what I actually had with my youngest and worked great. I used it in the kitchen sink though so I could swivel the faucet out of the way. I used it until she was almost a year old because the only tub we had in our mobile home was a garden tub and I couldn't bend down and use a baby bath tub in it. The Blooming Bath works great for newborns to six-eight months or so. It cradles them nicely and they don't slide around. She didn't start trying the grab the faucet until she was older, probably at least 9 months. You just smoosh the water out after you are done and either hang it up to dry or throw it in the dryer for about 30 minutes.

I have it saved on my iPad. Pm me your e-mail and I will forward it to you if you still need it.

[Robotics "path" for a seven year old?]

My son loves robots too. He has the Ollo action kit. I purchased it on timberdoodle.com last Christmas. Ollo also has some larger learning kits that come with a 12 week curriculum that look cool. They are on robotiskidslab.com. Click on products and then on ollo to bring up the page to read about them and the kits.

[LoF Algebra Companion]

My Dd is using this as her only math program this year. I bought all three, but so far she has not needed the extra math problems book. The companion has a daily schedule that she follows. She is loving LOF and wants to continue with the series throughout high school.

[How do I do this? - Preparing for baby]

I don't know if you have a Target near by, but they will be clearancing out a lot of baby items over the next few weeks to make room for the new models. A few things are at 30 percent off at my store right now. Baby markdowns are usually done on Mondays. Markdowns in the baby section go 70 percent off around the end of January/beginning of February.

[Will you help ds with a survey?]

My DS voted for winter.

[Anyone make a world culture notebook page they want to share, please?? :)]

I purchased a set of pages for geography from currclick.com that might work for you. They are called My World Travels: A Scrapbook and cost 3.00.

[Netflix instant streming titles to go with Ancient Histoy?]

I have used the list from runofthemillfamily.blogspot.com. If you click on the SOTW vol. 1, it is listed at the top of that page. Not all videos are instant, some are ones you have to have come to your house, but most chapters have several videos to choose from.

[I would not buy a house that.......]

Is a split level, has the laundry area in a creepy old basement, or only has on street parking.

[Free Multiplication/Division book Download]

[If you were chosen for the banana grams thing]

We also received ours on Friday. It came through UPS.

[Bananagrams is Looking for Research Participants...]

Thanks!

[00 junior size jeans or shorts (heck any denim!]

Pac Sun also carries size 00. They come in short, regular, and long too.

[First grade - what are must-reads?]

DS has enjoyed the Mouse on the Motorcycle books, Trumpet of the Swan and the first two Little House books (only ones we have read so far, but he wants to read the rest of them).

[Paper dolls from different countries]

Thanks! These are cute.

[Help. I'm feeling a little lost.]

[Valentine Exchange?]

We would like to do this! I have two that would like to participate. Thanks!

[Ipad2 & Brain Pop users]

You can view all the Brain Pop videos on the iPad with the app. You can not view the Brain Pop Jr. videos with the app. I hope they will make that option available though!

 

You cannot access the other stuff on the website on your iPad as far as I can tell. If I go to their web address, the page tells me I need flash to view the website and has a link to download the app.

Thanks!

[BFSU vs. RSO vs. Mr. Q]

Thanks LittleIzumi for all your input. I downloaded Mr. Q, and found (at least the first few lessons) rather dry. Pretty much he teaches some vocabulary and does a few matching and multiple choices to reinforce it. So it's down to BFSU vs. RSO. And I never thought I would use those. I'm a little scared to jump into BFSU because I've been so loyal to the WTM version of science, following a subject for a whole year. Does it really matter that much? What is RSO like -- does it also have reading lists? Has anyone tried both of these that can compare them for me? I'm afterschooling.

 

 

Yes, RSO has a reading list. Here is a link for the try before you buy for the first ten weeks or so. The reading list is included in the trial.

[? about DS through G3]

I believe that it is just a student account and you cannot access the teacher material and worksheets.

[Brain Pop Jr.]

Thanks! I just signed up as well. I was going to sign up my kids for Brain Pop and Brain Pop Jr. anyway, so this is a super deal.

[Cuisenaire Rods (and other things) SUPER on sale]

Thanks! Just ordered way too much stuff, but the prices were too good to pass up.

[co-ops]

We are going to start going to a co-op this year. We just went to the back to school breakfast this past Friday. There are classes every other Friday and a field trip once or twice a month. The classes are more fun than academic. The first one is fun with fondant, so you bring a cake to decorate. There are parties for the holidays as well.
