Miss Baby's New Room

So I feel a little guilty. Miss Baby gets her own blog posts all the time, but Little Guy never does. But Little Guy just doesn't do as many amusing things. And when he does, they are more "you had to be there" moments. Like today, when he was intentionally falling down every step he took. Funny, yes, but not a very good blog post.

Anyways, back to "business". My mom and I moved Miss Baby's stuff downstairs, so she and Hadlee can share the biggest bedroom. She is getting old enough that she should be able to color and play with her "big girl" stuff, but she can't do that when she shares a room with Little Guy because he will either ruin things or eat them. So now she is in a twin bed, which makes her look SOOOO tiny.

She has been being a horrible brat about going to sleep, and I think her favorite thing to say right now is: "I stay awake. Tonight I got her to go to sleep without a tantrum, but only after warning her that if she threw a tantrum she would have to stay in bed all day tomorrow. Hardcore, you bet, but she has been doing this for a few weeks and its getting really, really old. She knows better, but unless she is going to get in big trouble she won't stop the naughtiness.

Miss Baby LOVES Bibles. She has since the day she got here. She found a tiny little blue Bible and carried it around for months until she was to rough with it and it ripped so I took it away for a little while. Then she got another Bible and started sleeping with it AND carrying it around. We moved furniture yesterday and found the little blue Bible under the couch so she started sleeping with that and carrying it around (hey if you are going to have a "security blanket" of sorts, what better choice than a Bible?). Tonight she asked if she could read her Bible before she went to sleep, and what mom in her right mind could say no to that? So I went in to check on her, and this is what I saw, so of course I ran over and got the camera, because this picture is just to precious.

Miss Baby and her "stuff", Snoopy, Bible, and Baa.

Breastfeeding An Adopted Child - The Tenth Day of Christmas

Today we are hearing from Teglene. Her story is pretty long, but trust me, it is totally worth reading through! She also has a great blog, called The Breastfeeding Mother . I always knew I wanted to breastfeed my children. I couldn ’t imagine doing it any differently. I was lucky enough to give birth to two beautiful boys and I enjoyed breastfeeding them both. Not that it was easy or without struggle, but it was what I wanted to do and loved doing it. In fact, I liked it so much, and felt so passionate about breastfeeding that I became a La Leche League Leader, so that I could help other breastfeeding moms. I really took to the idea of “Mothering through breastfeeding”. It wasn ’t just a feeding method for me, but a relationship with my child. My husband and I always talked about adopting a child who needed a family. We thought, if we can’t have kids of our own then we will adopt. Even if we can have kids of our own, maybe we will still adopt. After the birt...

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 bec...
