Miss Baby Breaks Her Face (Part 3)

She was crying a lot, and she almost made me cry a couple times, because I am a big loser, and always wonder if the kids really love me and feel attached. But today I found out that Miss Baby most certainly loves me. I was laying right next to her, but she couldn't see me, so once she asked to "see Mama", which was sweet. Then she asked for a kiss, and I said I would kiss her belly, but she said "Kiss face", so they lifted up the cover so I could give her a kiss. And when she got unwrapped she practically flew into my arms. She also really wanted to go home.

On the way home, Grandma Lisa and Mama spoiled Miss Baby rotten.

After we left the hospital we had to go pick up some ibuprofen and neosporin. My mom has a teeny tiny car, with only two doors, so the logical thing to do is run in and leave the kids in the car, but Miss Baby was crying softly, and begging to go in with me, so I let her. She was very good in the store, so it worked out okay.

Next we went to McDonald's to grab dinner, because we were going to grocery shop this afternoon, but it didn't really work out that well. Plus, um McDonald's is freaking delicious. Usually I buy the kids a McDouble and apple slices. Today Miss Baby got a Happy Meal (which meant apple slices PLUS fries and a toy), and soda (or you know Powerade that we called soda).

By the time dinner was over, it was bedtime, so I got her into jammies and read her a story. Then I asked if she wanted Mama to carry her upstairs, or she wanted to go herself. She replied "Watch Gilligan first", so I let her stay up and watch I Love Lucy, because we didn't have any Gilligan's Island. So we spoiled her pretty bad.

Why I Choose Christian Light Education Homeschool Curriculum

Last summer I decided that I was going to homeschool our foster daughters while they were on summer vacation. There were two reasons for this: 1) Two of the three girls were behind academically. I really hoped that by working through the summer we could help them get on track for the next school year. They left our house soon after school started, so I don't know how well it worked. 2) I don't allow my children much in the way of screen time, and these girls were accustomed to having TV and tablets in their rooms all the time. So they never really knew what to do with themselves. I figured school work for the morning would help with that dilemma. Choosing a curriculum was difficult for me. I know that some people bounce around and change curriculum a lot, but whatever I got, I hoped I would like enough to use the non-consumables with Little Guy. I don't like wasting money, and I hate the idea of some topics falling through the cracks because different curricu

Training Children vs. Raising Children

In many conservative circles, parents refer to training their children. This term comes from Proverbs 22:6, which says "Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it." Almost unfailingly, when you get into a discussion on this topic, there is a parent that is appalled at the use of "training" on children. Nine times out of ten, they say "You train dogs, you RAISE children."
