Progress!!

Two days ago, Zeppy pooped on everything! The purple chair on the front porch, the floor under the kitchen table, and, thankfully, also in the toilet!

Last night, he went to sleep in his underwear. He woke up dry!!!!

I don't expect that to happen again, necessarily. At least, not for a while. But I sure am proud of him.

You should have SEEN the smile on his face!

In other exciting news: Tomorrow is the first day of school for Saraphina, as she starts her JUNIOR YEAR! Also the first day of school for Maria, homeschooling for third grade, at Squirreltrees School of Magick and Druidry. Zeppy will also have a notebook and a folder, so he can learn his letters and numbers, and to write his name.

Maria will enjoy using her newly painted desk, in her newly painted room. We have a standard curriculum for her, and several extra classes, as well. Margot will be teaching her Spelling, Greek and Latin Root Words, and Penmanship. I will be teaching her English, Reading, Reading Comprehension, Herbology, Potions, Art (Watercolour and Sculpture), and Divination. As long as Aaron is on Unemployment, he will teach her Math, but I may take over once he finds work. Saraphina will teach her Geography, and she will self-study Charms.

Kiki and Hailee will both be in HeadStart this year. Zeppy is not going to HeadStart. Mostly because he likes the times it is just us, when Kiki and Hailee are not here, but also because I want him home another year. I guess I'm just not in that much of a hurry to get rid of my babies. Beginning in January, I'll also be taking care of Kiki and Hailee's baby brother, due 25 December.
