I need 8 arms...and a muzzel.
This morning I had a more difficult time. I felt like the environment & timing was off on one of the lessons. L.G., my 2 year old, was in rare form today and wanted my complete attention. I probably need some advice on what to do in this situation....i was needing to read a story to Abby because it's something that she has to narrate on paper later, after listening to me read it to her. And honestly, Abby was being very attentive and gracious. If anyone has advice on what to do let me know. I mean, we pushed through and it all worked out fine...but i would have much rather it been a less distracting environment. I guess this is one of the weaknesses of this system. I know that some would argue that it is not any different because there are distractions in a classroom of 16 also...but I felt out of sorts. I was getting angry quickly. However, I had some fun things happen today too. I think that it is going to be neat to watch Abby(7) & Ellie's(5) relationship grow and change. They seem to be playing well together right now. Abby got out of school on the 15th so they have phased back into real life...this new way were trying. I think Abby misses being at school with her friends.

How about taking a break when L.G. is being needy, pick up a book that Abby can read and have her read it to her little sister? This teaches Abby that it's ok to have distractions, and it also helps her read.
Then give the two year old a half-cap of NyQuil, and resume the lesson. :)
