Just start small - like setting asid...Yeah, Amelia. Just start small - like setting aside a few minutes everyday and doing a puzzle together or just having quality time. But you do that anyway!<br /><br />And, Bev, no jealousies allowed! I was actually just thinking of all the blogs I read about homeschooling and how I get jealous of everything other people do and I wonder how I can fit it all in. But in all actuality, executing our work and time together only looks complicated - I kind of feel like I'm cheating by posting about everything because our lives have become "easier" since we've started homeschooling! I don't know what we're having - but I think it's a girl :) We'll find out soon!!<br /><br />Blessings to you, too!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08570812813078461156noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17981917.post-7256771213624878902011-11-08T12:56:20.748-08:002011-11-08T12:56:20.748-08:00I love reading about your school adventures. You ...I love reading about your school adventures. You are doing such an awesome job!! I get ideas from you and have to admit I'm a bit jealous of the amazing curriculum you have put together. Our kids are very similar and same gender, do you know what you are having this time around?<br />Blessings to you!<br />BevLittle Bloggershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06180324546480070434noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17981917.post-10613874467044378122011-11-05T16:20:39.975-07:002011-11-05T16:20:39.975-07:00Great ideas, Kris!

Jesus wouldn't have anything less. <br /><br />I think part of the reason he sits so well is because he has an older sister who is sitting with him - I've noticed that a lot of things that were annoying with Avila are a lot better with him. It's probably because he has company and because he watches whatever she does. Also, we do "highchair time" (if you want to call it that) before/after lunch and dinner. They get to read books for a little while and then they just get used to it. When the little one comes, I'm sure there'll be a lot of trial and error but initially we will stick to the basics that I can handle on no sleep, do more independent activities that don't need a lot of prep, and simply they'll just have a lot more free play time. We'll see how it all works out!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08570812813078461156noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17981917.post-10034882982154401442011-11-04T19:06:27.086-07:002011-11-04T19:06:27.086-07:001.

Go big or go home, right?<br /><br />3. What's the plan for when little one comes along and sleep deprivation sets in? I'd love to hear the plan.Shannonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11224458520057240424noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17981917.post-40469743740652919642011-11-04T18:44:31.274-07:002011-11-04T18:44:31.274-07:00Beautiful.
