My add kid has had no change in sleep- he still doesn't!:lurk5: been that way since he was a baby, he just does not sleep much. Meds have a side effect of keeping kids up, but for us, no change.

My youngest son is dyslexic, and he wasn't writing at 3.5 so letter reversals were not on my radar.:tongue_smilie: but, he had no dominant hand- the preschool teacher kept bugging me so I picked right since I am right. Years later his gymnastics and baseball coach kept asking what hand he was...none, lol. Also he could not differentiate shapes at all, and then of course a whole host of things related to spelling and reading. It's a lot more than reversals. This is probably nothing, at 3 there is no point worrying. Just keep an eye out maybe, but I hesitate to even recommend that, because 3 is so, so young!

I can't have hormones due to circulation issues, so pills and Mirena are out. I've had a copper iud for 10 years (got to get it out, and dh must do the v, but that's another thread!) with no issues. Ive lost it a few times, lol, but it turns back up at pap smears, etc, so it's there even if I can't find it! My periods are heavier, but not terrible. But, I'm old now, not many years of fertility left, and I don't want to do another or have a surprise mid life baby, so it's time for dh to step up. I would recommend the copper iud on my experience, though. Post fertalizationlosses run at about the same percent for women on no birth control, FYI.

I hear ya. My oldest is in high school, and the prep work and record keeping is killing me. I'm behind in the Scarlet Letter, and i just.don't.wanna!

Normal in my family! Not in dhs. Interestingly, because of kissing my dad, who has a mustache and has for 50 years, dh cannot grow a mustache. Well he can, but I won't kiss him! It makes me think instantly of my dad, only obviously I don't kiss my dad like that....so no mustaches on dh! ((shudder))

Ds takes Russian and band at the ps, block schedule so some days home at 830, some at 1030. Finishing keystone algebra, my own lit and a keystone creative writing class, my own us history (maybe ap test this year, still thinking), life science via keystone, home school band. Usually working until 3-4 and maybe "homework" too. He writes a paper a week for history and English, and it's been tough going, but the year just started so hopefully he will tighten up his skills and need to spend less time on this!

Woah...I so needed to see this right now! My boys are upstairs having a "brother sleepover". They sleep in older ds room, in his big bed. Which sounds darling, right? Except that it just heightens my awareness that they haven't got anyone else to have a sleepover with. And yeah, I actually cried a few minutes ago, because I feel like a big, fat FAIL. No public school, we've moved 9 times in my 14 year olds life...fail. :grouphug: No advice, but hugs for us both. My kids seem relatively happy, but I remember my friends from that time, and they were so special...I want them to have that.
