Last night we made a leap and added a puppy to our home. We have a seven month old terrier-chihuahua mix already. We added a bigger dog into the mix. She is a black lab mix. We got her her own dishes and leash for outside. Any ideas on how to make this addition easier for the older pup. We are giving her the attention that she is used to, but she still growls and barks at the new comer. She is the most adorable thing. Little Bit (the older pup) sleeps in our childrens beds with them. We kept Molly (new pup) out of that room last night and have told the kids they still need to play just like always with Little Bit. We want her to know that she is still top dog around here.

repeat second grade
by five_crew inwell, all, i finally got a hold of my son's teacher.
she told me she thinks it would really benefit my son to repeat the second grade.
to be honest with myself, my husband and i thought at his last school that they were behind what they should have been doing.

His teacher said the same thing. Third grade is a much more independant grade. Much less one on one teaching. There are many things that they learn down here that they never touched on in school in Wisconsin. Such as phonics that when we moved his teacher literally changed the way she taught it otherwise he would have been lost. Our son was disappointed, but we told him (on the advice of his teacher) that they learned so much down here when we were moving that repeating the grade was the best thing for him. It is hard for him anyway, because his older brother is one grade ahead of him and a whiz. All A's and B's. I always worried about the competition. Kyle would end up getting the same teachers Kurt had and then they would expect a lot more from Kyle because Kurt caught on to things so fast. I think it will be good for him to repeat.. If he advanced to third grade and then had problems, I would hate to see that interfere with his self esteem.

Well, all, I finally got a hold of my son's teacher. She told me she thinks it would really benefit my son to repeat the second grade. To be honest with myself, my husband and I thought at his last school that they were behind what they should have been doing. In the back of our minds we thought he probably needs to repeat it. His teacher said that he is where a child is when they finish first grade. If he has a problem during the first quarter of next year then they will test for a learning disability. Our son is taking it well, he doesn't want to go to school next year and be lost. On the plus side she told me that he is one of the most loving, giving, happy children she has seen in a long time. She was happy to see how well adjusted he was after such a big move. A move away from everyone and everything that he knew, except us of course. Anyway, that's what happened.

Which Side of the Bed?
by simplesally ini can sleep on either side but i prefer the right side.
my first ex husband always insisted we change based on which side was closer to the door.
i'll be the pillow where you lay your head, lay your head.

So sorry to hear about the distance. I think everyone here knows about distance from relatives and how much it can hurt even the strongest person.

It is funny because I was reading a poster in a public bathroom the other day, and the law in this state, states that a four year gap is alright, example a 20 year old can have sex with a 16 year old. But, it is illegal if the four year gap ends up being under the age of 15, example a 17 year old having sex with a 13 year old. I like this law, how many of us went out with older boys or girls that if it were todays standards many would be sex offenders?

I was a whopping 95 pounds when I got married, after three children, i gained about 20 pounds onto that frame. When I see myself, I see the extra pounds. But when my husband sees me all he says he sees is the woman he fell in love with. Gotta love it when they say the right things!!!!!
