No more summer crazies...

Now that this is the 5th week of summer break the kids summer crazies have settled down and we are getting into a routine again. This week we started "school" hour. The kids got all the workbooks from the year from school and instead of throwing them away I thought lets finish them. This is the second day and the kids are LOVING it. Even Peanut is getting in to it. After breakfast we clean up the table and the kids do the work I have planned for the morning. They haven't asked if they can go outside to play instead which means they are really enjoying it. They love to be outside with the neighbor kids but they would rather have school time with mom then be outside with them. I am loving the one on one time I am able to have with each of the kids. I'm not really teach them new stuff I am having them continue with the things they have already learned to help them retain them for next year. Speaking of next year, I am really excited for Monkey to have the teacher that GG has had for the last 2 years. I think he is going to grow leaps and bounds with her as his teacher she is just THAT good. Other than that Monkey had an eye appointment last week and was told he needs glasses for school. Neither J or I wear glasses so I had a really hard time hearing that. I kept asking is there anything we can do to help his eye sight. The doctor kept telling me no. Well she said it to quickly and without much thought that I decided to do a little research of my own. I can across a method for restoring eyesight. It is called the Bates Method. It has been recommend by a doctor that I completely trust, here is the site. He used it on his own eyesight. There is a video and then an article about the method. I am so excited to start using this with him and see if his sight improves!!!
