This and That!

We're in our second week of homeschooling. Jack is doing GREAT! And I'm getting the hang of it. James is in school from 8:30-12:30 M-F. This is usually when we do our lessons. I try to get Jack finished with lessons and school work by the time we leave to get James. And so far, that's been easy to do. Jude is either right there along with us, or napping. It's worked out better than I imagined, but it still keeps me SUPER busy! I've gotten good at doing lessons while Jude naps and saving independent work for last. If Jude is still napping while Jack is working independently, I do my "daily" chores around the house. I don't stop! The afternoons are reserved for whatever our hearts desire. Shopping, playground, zoo, and if Jason gets home early...sometimes I can even sneak in a nap while Jude naps! I LOVE that!

Speaking of Jude...he is almost 4 months old! His 4-month well-baby appointment is this Friday. It's kind of funny....last time, at his 2-month appointment, the doctor asked about tummy time. I admitted that I rarely put him on his tummy because he really hated it. She then let me know how important it was for his strength and development and that I would end up giving my baby a flat head if I didn't. Ugghhh...so, the next few days I was a little better about tummy time. However, I once again began skipping it all together. He just DIDN'T like it! Jack and James didn't like tummy time either. They turned out okay. Jude has had amazing head control from very early on. And a few weeks ago he started rolling from his back to his side. And more recently, I put him on his tummy, and he lifted his head super high and can even roll to his back. Yay! So, at his appointment this week, when asked if I put him on his tummy...my answer will be "yes, and he just rolls right back onto his back!" :) Yay! I'm off the hook!



And...here's another video of Jude. Poor kid. Jason was using him as a live puppet.



In other news...James is still doing really well at his school. He's learning so much! I just adore his teacher. She is AMAZING!!!

Jason is still working hard here at ACSC. Hopefully in the next 1-2 months we'll know where we'll be moving to this summer. There's still a chance we stay here...but unlikely.

We'll keep everyone updated!
