annaz, could you post that link to Carrie's suggestions? I would love to see it! Thanks!!

Welcome to the board!

Thank you very much!!!

I am wondering what to include in setting up a student notebook for Preparing. I don't understand how to divide it up and what exactly goes into the notebook. Or do they even need a notebook?

Thanks for any help!

Hi Julie! When he turned 6 months, his reflux *seemed* to get so much better. I occasionally see him grimace like he has reflux come up, but very rarely. He does not spit up hardly at all anymore. So I don't believe that he has it really anymore, but I could be wrong. We tried Zantac when he was a n...

Thank you, Kathleen! Great tips! If we do "play, eat, sleep", I wonder how I can change it over to "eat, play, sleep"? He usually gets a bottle before sleep. Sometimes during the day, I can rock him w/o a bottle. I just wonder how I can get into the routine you were talking about. That would be idea...

I thought about doing the crib that way. It might help him get a little used to it. He IS very mobile, and in fact, has crawled off the bed after waking from a nap. :( That is yet another reason I wanted to get him in the crib, so that he wouldn't crawl off the bed again. Tonight he fell asleep at 8...

Thank you, Melissa, especially for the prayer. I need prayer!! :) Thanks to every single one of you who have replied! I wish I could reply to each one, but with a 10-month old, I just don't have the time, as you understand. :lol: I am pouring over each reply, gleaning tips from each one. I love the ...

I just wanted to say a great big "Thank You!" for all of these heartfelt replies and advice! It makes tear up to see so many take time to write and encourage me. :) I will read all of these more in-depth after the holiday festivities. :) Many have suggested a sling/carrier. I would *love* to use one...

I can read to them while he is playing, but we have to stop a lot. He is very mobile and wants to be into everything! LOL! Something I forgot to add to my OP....He does not get enough sleep. Compared to the charts of what babies his age need for sleep, he is missing like 3 hours a day. So he is pret...

Hello ladies! This is kinda OT, but kinda not. I hope it's okay to post here. I am a mom to 3 children, ages 11, almost 10, and a 10-month old baby boy. :) The gist of the problem is that I cannot get school done because the baby does not sleep in his crib and does not sleep on a schedule! This is d...

That is so awesome!!!

Thank you, Kathleen, for answering! Yes, we some of Beyond and then quit. And then we did a little of Bigger and then quit. :( (I am a recovering curriculum-junkie!) I don't have the catalog right here with me, but my youngest (almost 9) would place more in Bigger, going by the writing/reading colum...

Hi all! I am struggling on what to do (again) with my kids. They are ages almost-9 and 10 1/2. We have not done much American History at all - just up through the Pilgrims. I'm struggling on whether to do Bigger or Preparing. If we go on to Preparing, they won't get any American History until the ne...

Thank you SO much, Carrie!! That makes a lot of sense. I figured there was a reason for it, but I just didn't know what it was. And I didn't know how the CTC timeline worked. Thanks for taking the time to explain it!!
