Homeschooling in Illinois

Mixed up Kids

Riddle me this, Batman:

We have trained our boys that when they wake up, they need to stay in bed and read.  They are not to get up, wake each other up, play around, be loud, etc...  They still don't have it down pat, and we constantly have to remind them.   Now Princess C on the other hand, is told that when she wakes up, get out of bed and come to me.  Normally, she lays in bed crying and yelling, "I want mama!"  (And it's only a fake cry, because when I get in there, there are no tears.)  When she yells, she wakes up Baby B and that is why we are trying to train her not to stay in her bed.  Yet, she can't get it.  Why are they so backwards?!?!?

God made kids different to keep us on our toes! I have four children(2 grown) and each were very different). I have a friend with 4 'perfect' children. Well-mannered, quiet...then her 5th one was a real...um...pistol...it definitely was a change of pace for them:)

Hey, you. I'm back. : )

And I don't know why kids are so opposite. It's 7:45 a.m. Miguel has been up since 6:30. Essie is conked out and won't be up until 8 a.m. Miguel wakes up, has breakfast and is ready to go! Essie drags herself around the house whimpering from having to wake up.

Weird. And they're siblings. You wouldn't know from their schedules!

About Me

Oh, the crazy things that happen in my house.... I am the wife of M for 8 years now. I am the mother of a 10 yo boy - D, 6 1/2 yo boy - N, 4 yo girl - Princess C, 2 1/2 yo boy -Toddler B, and girl Lil' L born May 18. I've been homeschooling since 2003. I lean towards a Charlotte Mason approach, but more often than not, it's "whatever works".
