Date nights and evening chat/alone time together helps hubby and I to stay connected. Also, we try to keep the lines of communication open. We can always tell when we're slacking with these things!
When my oldest got married this past June we danced to his favorite song from when he was little: "Tub Thumping" by Chumbawumba. (sp?) It's a fun song, fast dance, and no tears...well, at that point anyway.:)
I'm looking ahead to high school. Dd11 and I just tried an Apologia science text and it bombed for us. We use Sonlight, and they suggest Apologia for the upper science courses. I am wondering if you all could tell me what you use b/c we won't be using Apologia. Thanks!
What would you do and why? Ds9 is in 4th grade this year and we're using FUFI. We are Sonlighters, but I'm waiting until he's in 6th grade for Core F. So what suggestions do you have for next school year? I'm an early planner and a budget shopper, so I'd like to get a jump on things. Thanks!
ETA: He had American History using Sonlight Core D+E last year in third grade.
Great suggestions so far. I don't have one to add, but I just wanted to thank you for reaching out to the special needs community. I often feel out of place at church b/c there is no support like this. It's awesome that you're doing this.
