We made the leap today and started our new school year.  The plan is to start with math and language arts this week, and then add in the other subjects one at a time.  Most of our additional subjects are done co-op style with other families, so that factored into this decision.

The day started out okay.  The boys were out of bed and got dressed and fed without much fight.  The problems began when we started the timer for math.  We had so much dawdling and goofing off going on that not much was getting accomplished.  I made the decision to put my foot down before it continued into a problem and we did extra math today.  I made sure to discuss with them before lunch that the extra work came as a direct result of their behavior.  Cross your fingers that this lesson is easily learned and we don't have many repeats!  I already have my hands full this year between being pregnant and trying to keep Landon occupied during school time!
