Comment on Reading…how well?!? by Julia

Julia — Mon, 09 Feb 2009 17:21:05 +0000

What tests did you use? I’d like to check that out, myself! I’m getting “concerned” about the kindergarten boredness with my reader, as well. M’s been reading for atleast a year now and is able to write and type with correct spelling (for the most part). She devours books. We go for our K registration next week and I am very curious to see what they have to say…
You’re not alone!

Comment on A Short Story by Julia

Maddie did the same thing! But it’s terribly cute and so much easier to work with. Carrie looks really sweet. :) BTW- we talked once about having the girls be pen pals. Now that they can both read and kind of write, would you be still interested in that?

You are going to make it REALLY difficult to not buy new yarn all the time… ;)

Wow- how amazing that she is still around! It must be a really neat thing for her to have lived so long and be able to tell about her grandparents and their lives first hand. I hope her quality of life is still good! That’s a great picture.

That is a beautiful dress. I’m sure it was a wonderful day.

Congrats on the sleeping babe! I’ll try not to jinx it for you. We’ve been blessed with good night sleepers (naps are another story…), and it’s just wonderful to get those full 8 hours. I’m already missing those wee baby days. Ian will be one on Friday!! And then Kira will be THREE in Nov. Time really does fly!

I wanted to be there. I thought about it, put it on the calendar, thought some more… but six hours in the car with three little kids just wasn’t in the cards for us. Sigh. Maybe next year. All that yarn in so beautiful. Enjoy working with it!

Comment on First Sit & Knit and Finished Sweater by Julia

Two things to save your sanity when you have more than one young child… daily siesta after lunch. All kids go “rest” for an hour in their rooms. And it works for 4 year olds, too. :) AND- early-ish bed times. I know Anna is a bit young to be on a schedule, but we now have all three going down around the same time at night (the boy is 10 mos now) and it gives us an hour or 2 to sit! That’s when the knitting happens. Gotta save that sanity! Looks like you’re doing well. :)
