Everyones starting to think about the up and coming year! So I thought I'd share our year! We started w/ the Prairie Primer, but It wasn't suited for mom??? not quite sure? Lydia is still reading through the books. We have some very long days she's a lagger! She has done better the last 2 weeks! I took the time to use a word-picture story w/ her, describing the disappointment and frustration it caused in our home, because everyone is always waiting on her! it seemed to help!
thinking through the year!
