I've been thinking about how to be sure the middle child is engaged in school (like planning units where she'll be more interested in the content...my oldest just loves learning facts!) but I hadn't given much thought to the little guy. I thought perhaps he'd just kind of hang around...which would be unfair and I'd feel some guilt about that, I'm sure! So, thanks for the great idea...I'll definitely focus a little more on the little guy :)Anniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01414507841912302101noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7438453344583352103.post-84703253346759452182010-04-03T18:13:58.860-07:002010-04-03T18:13:58.860-07:00Thank you so much Kris!Thank you so much Kris!Jenniferhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07054586181460710807noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7438453344583352103.post-56243820718214040112010-04-03T17:09:46.088-07:002010-04-03T17:09:46.088-07:00Susan,
