Things We Should (have)Know(n) About Your Child...

You know the paper you get from school about your child: Things we should know about...

"Samuel’s here in the clinic," the nurse said from the school. "He threw up but he’s not running a fever and says he feels fine."

"Was he grossed out by something?" I asked.

Turns out, he was indeed. His "job" today was scraping plates. He starting puking and it caused a chain reaction.

"That’ll be the last day he’ll do that job," his teacher said.

"Good to know," the nurse said.

Oops Sorry about that.

Hi Jenny and Twila, Thanks for stopping by!

Samuel has always had a sensitive gag reflex but it has increased from the palate to even smells or sights. When we visit PA for example and the fields have recently been fertilized. We drive fast and try to convince him to think of something else!!

Amy,
Yeah! I found you and the link worked. I feel sorry for Seth with the sensitive gag reflex that must be miserable for all involved. I always enjoy reading your post. Thanks for sharing.

I meant to say Samuel not Seth. It is late and I've been at the hospital all day so my brain is tired. Oops!

Amy,
Thanks for the comment you left on our blog. Can you give me a maiden name so Nathan can remember who you are? :o)

Thanks,

Charity,
I'll try to leave it at your site too just in case you don't check back here. My maiden name was Phares. I don't think Nathan would remember me at all. I did have your MIL for several science classes. 2 semesters of Chemistry, Biology, and A&P I. It seems like there was another too...

Homeschooling Curriculum Help?

Shannon is hosting a backwards edition of what-works-for-me Wednesday , where you can ask for advice/ or suggestions instead of giving them. Yeah! I need some advice. David and I are really praying and considering homeschooling our boys, K4 and grades 2 and 6 —beginning this fall. Can anybody recommend a curriculum, either as a whole or as a subject, that you are crazy about that doesn’t make you crazy? Secondly, if you could give one tip for “survival” what would that be?

February 27 Update

I just called to see if Amy wanted to blog anything today, but at the moment she is talking on the phone to her wonderful friend, Deb Rose. Deb and her husband, Brian, used to live in Louisville several years ago. They were our very best friends. If I were talking to the Roses this evening, I would tell them that Amy is desperately scared. The docs have given her a very stiff dose of antibiotics, but as of this moment, her body temp is climbing once again. Her primary doctor told her he fears that this infection may be fungal in nature. I don’t completely understand all of the implications, except that we are shooting at this infection with our biggest guns, but it just keeps on coming. In her introspective manner, she shared with me today that if she had known she would lose her sight, she would have invested it more wisely in the things she read and watched: “What if I go completely blind and can’t read the Bible? I have to get more serious about memorizing.” This morning a do

March 2: HOME!!

From his vantage point at our front door, three-year old Seth delightedly shrieked, "Mommy," and I turned in time to see Amy being driven down our long driveway. Our three blond-haired boys buried their faces in their mother. Even the house sighed contentedly. Amy's home. A Happy Husband, David
