guess I should post

something! Not a lot of news, no new photos here...we have withdrawn Luke and Victoria from school, which means I now have the youngest 3 at home full-time. it is very nice, and they are on a much better routine, and seem to be growing more confident, as opposed to less confident each day.

We are looking toward starting up parenting classes again in March, and as I scrutinize my own children, I seem to be learning more...we are never done learning!

#1 ~ your children are what you make them. If you think of a child as impatient, and you respond to them with impatience, they will be impatient! If you consider a child to be responsible, and treat them that way, they will become that. IF a characteristic of a child is troubling you, then examine carefully how you act and react toward that child.

#2 ~ I forgot what the second one is....but it will come to me. For now I will say "Moms, get plenty of rest. staying up too late makes it hard to keep your eyes open!"
