DAK update

Now that Dylan has started kindergarten and we decided not to send Aidan to preschool this year I have decided to work with Aidan at home. So far we are off to a good start with him doing a couple of worksheets a week. Once I am no longer stressed or preoccupied with the whole house situation I will work more with him.
I felt so bad for him when we dropped Dylan off that first day and he asked me when he was going to go to school. It didn't help when Dylan reminded me that he went when he was 3. We chose not to send Aidan because we didn't think it was worth the money. He will definitely be going next year. And he seems to enjoy doing stuff at home with me so we save money and he is happy.

Dylan is loving school, of course it is only the first week but am glad to see him so excited about it. As for me it is taking getting used to getting them out and driving to the school 5 days a week. I think I may need to move my afternoon coffee to the mornings :)

Keira is now 10 1/2 months old and I really need to start planning for her first birthday. It is just so hard with so much other stuff going on. I really don't know how working moms do it all. I think we are going to go with a pumpkin theme since she was born close to Halloween and we nicknamed her "Pumpkin" before she was born.
I have been trying to work with her to get her to stand or walk but she just refuses to lock those knees and stand. She goes rubbery in the legs whenever I try. No big deal really as the boys didn't walk until they were a little over a year old.
