  1. Some babies just need the contact. My last never slept anywhere but in contact with me. As soon as I tried to put him down (in the crib, on the couch, in the carseat, in a swing...), he instantly woke up. I held him for naps and slept next to him for several years. It took him a long time, but he finally got over that need. He's now happily sleeping in his own room.

     

    It may not be east for you, but contact with you may just be what the baby needs. It won't last forever, even though it seems like it right now.

  2.  

    This deep pain honors the deep love we have for my Dad. Life is beautiful and so dang hard sometimes.

     

    I'm nearing the 7th anniversary of my dad's passing and the second for my mom. The last few days I have been thinking of them and have cried much. Your quote above is eloquent. I loved them deeply and miss them more than I can express.

     

    I'll be thinking of you today. I hope that you can share the good memories and remember with laughter the wonderful times you shared with your dad.

  3. I've been using R&S math with my youngest since 1st grade; he's doing the 4th grade book now. I really like it. It's not so drill, drill, drill that I want to beat my head on the wall, but it does thoroughly cover a concept. It's old-fashioned, but it works.

  4. After spending 5 years teaching middle school Language Arts, I knew I did not want my kids in the public school system. I didn't even HAVE kids at that point! I thought I'd send them to a private school--and we did that for a while with my older 2. It was a small school that kept getting smaller and smaller and pretty soon my dd was home 2 days a week. It wasn't a big leap to homeschooling.

     

    While I was a ps teacher, I took on several homebound kids. I was given 3 hours **a week** to teach them the basics. All of those kids came back to school ready to step back into the classroom. Sadly enough, their classes weren't progressing any faster. I knew I could do much, much better than that!

  5. I went to see it last night and thought it was terrible. It was s..l...o....w for one thing. Started at the middle of the story and presented brief flashbacks. Missed many of the key points of the story and ended at the wrong place. No chemistry between Jane and Mr. Rochester. It was a very poor version. Save your money and rent one of the other versions!

  6. Didn't Ham say he did not sign a contract with the convention?

     

    There was another creation-based company there. I would not say they are Ken's "partner"--simply another company with the same viewpoint in terms of creation.

     

    No one from AIG was there. AIG itself was not a vendor at the convention, though evidently some companies had some of their products available. That's not unusual...Rainbow carries both SWB and AIG products.
