There are so many smart remarks floating around in my head, comments about public schools being ideologically driven, decisions about whether or not we should bus all of our public school kids to the worst school in the area so as not to "cheat the system", etc. Grrr. Old Growth Charts Blamed for Fat Babies - Blog Entry30 Apr 2007 06:19 AM Thanks for the information, Valorie! While we've not yet run into this problem - we have monster children all weighing between 8 lbs 8 oz (my week-early baby) to 9 even - I could see where the problem could come from, and I know it helps others. It's also good to know should I ever have a small baby (I can only dream)! Thanks again! Reasons I am glad I Homeschool: Change of Scenery - Blog Entry26 Apr 2007 08:33 AM My dh also travels extensively for business. We were in DC a few months ago and hit the museum of natural history and the zoo, which they loved; ditto with our trip to Ellis Island and the Statue of Liberty while dh was in NYC. We're traveling with him a great deal this year - in another 2 weeks we'll pack up our motorhome and travel 'til next winter. The kids love all the neat things we see, and even when we hit smaller cities and towns, we visit the library or the firestation (my oldest is not yet 6). Once I've recuperated from having this baby and gotten our schedule on track, I plan to spend some more time looking for things to do; we've been in a 'relax' period through my last trimester and recent birth! Great blog! Primary Time: Nursery Leader - Blog Entry25 Apr 2007 05:49 PM Escapes? ROTFL! Our nursery had the child-covered door handles, which was a pain for the adults but far better than chasing kids through the hall. (This was the ward with 20 kids in the junior nursery, so we definitely had our hands full!) The Benefits of Limiting Family at Baby's Birth - Blog Entry24 Apr 2007 09:02 PM Yes yes yes! This is me. For my first baby, I was okay with my mom and MILthere, since it was their first grandchild. My MIL was in tears after I admitted I didn't want anyone but my husband with me for the next three. Thanks for letting me know I'm not alone! Primary Time: Nursery Leader - Blog Entry24 Apr 2007 03:39 PM Another thing parents can do to help is...leave! As a previous nursery leader, I've noticed that most kids are fine after a few minutes once their mom (or dad) leaves. As a mom, I know it can be tough to do when your kid is crying, but it generally is the best thing to do. If there is a serious problem, the nursery leader will come get you. Great blog! Primary Time: Dealing with the Isolation of Teaching Primary - Blog Entry23 Apr 2007 05:57 PM A great article on a very important topic! As a recently released Nursery teacher, I'm in total agreement. Priorities and People - Blog Entry23 Apr 2007 05:55 PM Wait, how many blogs I write is NOT the most important thing? Just kidding. But you are right; it can be easy to be caught up in the mundane and miss the most important. Are You a Good Visiting Teachee? - Blog Entry23 Apr 2007 05:47 PM Miriam, you make a great point about being a good visiting teachee. I never really thought about it in that light. Thanks for making me! Are You Starving Yourself Spiritually? - Blog Entry23 Apr 2007 05:44 PM The hardest part is, the times you feel the most pulled down are the times it is the hardest to make yourself take the steps you need to draw closer to the Lord. But, like praying, the times you least want to are the times you most need to. 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 34 35 36 37 38 39 40 41 42 43 44 45 46 47 |
