Challenges

dg4 is challenging us. wg2 is challenging us as well. But you know, so often I can't get past the feeling that we could do something about it. We could cut the trouble off at the pass.

nh runs the boys around. Swimming, movies, etc... They don't appreciate it, but can we really expect them to appreciate it? They're 2 and 4 after all.

nh did something really cool this evening. She wrote numbers in the bottom of an egg carton and made tons of snakes which dg4 cut out. He would then randomly pick a number and put the construction paper snakes into the cups until he reached the number in the cup. He loved the craft and learned at the same time. If we could work in more of this it might be better for us all.

You always seem to leave extremely helpful commentary and advice in responds to my blogs... I can never think of anything witty, nor profound enough to say in regards to yours... though I much enjoy reading them.
