Shameless bump :)

I think he needs more attention. Since, you have a new baby, you need to get creative! How helpful/capable are the older two? Can you schedule time for them to really focus on him. They can play with a certain kind of toy he loves like trains.
How are your toys? Can you pack up all the toys and keep a few baskets around. When you sit down with the baby you can pull out those toys so he is occupied near you.
How about eating? Keep a snack with you and give him a snack. Maybe he needs to eat more often. You can set up a cooler in an area if your not by the kitchen.
Is he getting the big energy out? How is he sleeping? Is he using any words?

I am making my book a week list and am overwhelmed by the choices :)

Don't put his name on the birth certificate. He can always be put on later. But, you cannot take him off.

I tried talking to my oldest. He is turning 16 next month. He asked me not to tell him these things. He was very upset by it. I opened my mouth before I thought about it. He has been such an adult lately and we sit and talk a lot. I didn't think about how painful it would be.
I actually very seldom watch the news anymore. I actually did a quick search online because I saw mention of earthquakes in Cali and we have family there. Then I clicked on the link for the story. Then I checked out the news.
I used to watch the news and even enjoyed reading the paper. At some point, I think around my third child I got really sensitive to it. My husband actually "doesn't let me" watch the news. He just hates seeing how painful it is for me.

I am in this year :)

Hey, you know those people next door?
They HOMESCHOOL. I heard their mom is weird. I dare you to peek in her window and see what they do in there.
I bet she treats her kids like slaves and makes them eat Kale chips.

I was going to say.....
over an open fire :p

Crazy, sexy, cancer is a pretty kick ass cancer site. She has several books and a DVD.

It is like eating two chocolate and one cherry tootsie roll at the same time. I like it :)

It is totally on the high chair.
I was waiting for my little ones to fall asleep before I crack it open. I will try and check in later.

I use Flickr. You have to pay for it to. You can post from Flickr though which is nice.

You might want to take a look at Jump-in.

We need to work on our credit now that my dh has a good job. I like the look of myfico. Thoughts or recommendations?

I just changed mine because it was so easy :D I wanted it to match my website.

I haven't read the books. But, from what I have read, it just seems like another word for unit studies. At least, the way I approached them. Your homeschool journey is going to flow and change and morph. Don't wait for next year. Just provide the lead for your kids into a project. If you have ever utilized SOTW Activity Guides, that is a great way to start. Pick out a couple of things and see what your kids do with them.

My oldest has a difficult time getting through his day. We talked some more and figured out what he needs. It seems so obvious now :glare:
Is there a planner which has the daily schedule with hours listed down the left sheet and the Daily assignments with those listed down the right sheet or vise versa?
It seems like planners are either one or the other or they have two separate sections. It may sound dumb, but he will not shift back and forth between sections.
If not, I will make him something. I just don't have a printer currently because ALL THE NON-BREATHING THINGS are rapidly dying around me. It would be so nice if I could just order it.

My SIL developed a problem with Mold. It was awful at one point. Coughing for no reason. I Second, third or whatever the recommendation to Check on allergies if the pertussis comes back negative.

I am pushing for a college degree, as well. He has OCD with his hands. I cannot imagine him having to work with his hands or do physical labor. He needs to be able to do a desk job.

...honestly I think you just have to keep trying things until something clicks.
Yes, we have tried so many programs with all my kids. He has tried at least 10. Currently, we are using Explode the Code and OPGTTR. Which I think is hilarious because they are the last two programs I tried because i had used ETC and PP with an older child. I was sure they wouldnt work. But, we found OPGTTR at the library sale for $2 and it actually works. I was given the ETC book and he loves it.
My car battery keeps dying... Sigh!

I had this and there is something drawing on the battery. Like a loose wire that is touching metal somewhere. It was such a pain because my alternator did die eventually. I had a switch on my battery to unhook each night because they could not find the draw.
