My son is only 4 so we're no very formal at this point, but I'll answer anyway. We organize by seasons. His birthday is May 18th and between that day and the first day of Summer we take off from school and it is my yearly planning time. Each season is a new start and we incorporate learning to the seasons. For example, in winter we do sciences that are easy to do indoors. In the Spring we can learn about flowers and growing things from seeds and plant parts, etc. In the fall we can learn survival skills with camping trips. We take time off whenever we feel like it or there is a vacation opportunity.

The world would be a better place if most people were raised with your son's point of view.

I started Body for Life today. I worked out so hard I was shaking by the end.:) It felt great to workout again.

My son started when he was 3.5. I took him potty every 15 minutes for the first day. Then ever half hour the next. It was the only thing that worked for him.

I wonder if it's a 4 year old thing. My son is the opposite in that he is really snuggly and wants my attention 24/7. However, I am beginning to see the uping the anty thing. He is also getting upset with me for disciplining him. "You stopped me from doing that!" in a how could you do something so awful tone. It's like he is taking offense at me making him follow the rules.
