Josie and the Tooth Fairy

She had a hard time letting us pull the tooth, but once it was gone, she was happy until she saw this photo. Then she said she didn't have any teeth. Her daddy assured her that she would soon grow 2 BIG front teeth and look like Timmy Turner.

This is Wayne after moving into his room (up 3 flights of stairs)!

This is the kids doing a color experiment!

Neat huh?

Moving and more moving

Well, we got Wayne moved out, and then we decided to move some furniture around in the house, so we have spent the weekend moving!

Jack has settled into a routine with school and is doing better, but still takes a lot of convincing to participate in school activities.

"No, I won't. No, I'm not. No, I can't."

Is it possible to love and despise your child at the same time? Perhaps I should say his behavior. I have a child that was looking so forward to starting school, but now that he has, he WILL NOT cooperate. He will not try, he will not hold a pencil, he will not sit, he will not stand, he will not participate, he will not do anything other than what he has HIS mind on at the minute. I have even tried letting him just do any of the papers/projects that he wants at any given time, but he will not do it. I tried getting his sister to get him to do it. I don't think that I was that hardheaded and stuborn when I was little (maybe now I am, but not when I was 4). By the way, this is new behavior. He was once my agreeable child. Oh well! We press on and hope that he learns something.
