So, what has been happening since September?
DH had is second hip replacement surgery. Two weeks earlier than expected, but that's fine.
MIL is here helping out; I kind of wish she would move in with us permanently. She does laundry. And my children adore her.
We went to Great Wolf Lodge in Williamsburg, VA. The kids had a BLAST. Then we drove up to NY for MIL's surprise 70th birthday party.
DS is in transitional kindergarten. He's blossoming. I don't worry too much about homework. He has to repeat kindergarten anyway, so why have him be bored? And he has years of homework ahead of him.
DD is kind of freaking me out. She's 3.5 and seems to be very advanced. I may keep the two of them in different schools. I think DD will need a talented and gifted program. DS, on the other hand, is a perfectly normal 5 YO boy. I do not want to set him up for a lifetime of underachieving b/c why bother if his sister is always so good at everything. I want him to shine.
At the same time, I don't want to hold DD back. She needs to shine too.
UGH. The thought of dealing with 2 different schools is maddening.
DD wrote her name backwards, then held the paper up to the light so that she could read it the right way. She's 3.5. I'm just saying.
