Dyk


"The cuckoo comes in April,
Sings a song in May:
Then in June another tune,
And then she flies away."

dyk Abi is pretty ready to read I think, she "can" read on a very rudimentary level, and she WANTS to - so that's the big thing for me with her.


dyk if it's not something of her interest, it just doesn't work - and that's not all just her being a control freak or a child, alot of it is tied into her attention span and her sensory/dyspraxia issues... so the intense interest drives the focus and attention and allows her to learn much easier


dyk so for now it's just best if we go with what she's INTO - math and reading.


dyk how nice for me it's those two things!

dyk we're still waiting to hear news about the monetessori/pilot charter school


dyk it's a big deal b/c montessori is $400 a month, whereas charter... well, I don't know if this next year would be free, but I don't think they charge tuition like the montessori


dyk but I am not sending Dek to preschool either way

dyk I was really encouraged today if I didn't mention it, with the computer work Abi did.


dyk I think I mentioned it.


dyk worth saying again.


dyk and the cleaning up they did this morning. And the listening they've done all day.


dyk Deklan keeps saying, "I will do everything the grown ups say and need b/c I don't want to be in trouble long times like Abi."

dyk I know I'm wait late on commenting, but that Ellie tried to latch onto Sean to nurse nearly made me fall off my chair


dyk I love it when the hubbies/dads get a real dose of something we deal with all the time


dyk it rarely changes anything (at least here) unfortunately

dyk congrats on just closing the door to the kids' bedroom


dyk sometimes, as much as it bothers us, we have to let some things go


dyk I think that's why rooms have doors
