[blparent] good Afternoon

Another note to Tammy ...
Yes, he plays for the sake of doing it ... I believe we have more tp rolls
than toys in this house ... he builds his make believe houses, uses thim as
trains, cars, bus's, trucks  you name it!
He's a all  and all boy! ...
I'v only een round girls having 21 sisters and 32 nieces The boy thing is
new to me lol
We spend lots of time at parks, lake, pool, and in the wenter ... his
grandma got him  a sled last xmas and he loooooves that!.
We're debating on taking him skiing. ...
I'm note sure if 2 is too young, so we will  more likely wait.

So, yes, he plays for the sake ofit ... we have a hour of structured play
and a book every now and then threw out the day, and normally its puzzle
books that make noise when you put the pieces in ... he gets a kick out of
it.

My Mil is a gerk, will always be, I'mnot a people pleaser ... a people
person yes, but pleaer ... No ... way!

Hi,

Not to be rude but don't you think you might be pushing your son a little 
too hard here?  He's 2 and you're talking about putting him in home 
schooling and worrying about educational toys, which it sounds like he'd 
find borring.  Your son might be very smart, and I get that you're proud of 
him as we all are proud of our kids, but how much pressure is too much? 
Does Corbin ever play just for the sake of playing, or having fun?  You 
know, your mother in law is wrong about blind people not being able to 
parent children.  but I don't think you need to push your son in to things 
he may not be ready for just to proove to any sighted person that you're 
good parents.  Just let your kid be a kid, and don't worry so much, because 
while you're worrying about things that don't matter, you're missing out on 
things that do.

Tammy

Yes, I found the complete set on craigs list, and had the flash cards red to
me, so I can Braille them.
Corban looooooves it ... with consistency, it works, but many parents give
up bec thirty many of words, colors, shapes aen't fun for an adult, but we
make it fun.

    Hi! I think that pre school has been really good for Mackenzie, and she
just turned 2.  She's been in it for a couple months now.  It's actually a
toddler program, but from there, she will advance to their pre school when
she's 3.  She has learned so many words, and she is learning to play and
share with kids.   I can't believe the progress she's made, she was great
before school, and now, it's even more amazing to see how fast she's
growing!

Hi parents!

How are all doing?

We had our  year old tested for head start, and he tested at a 300! At 2 he
can do what an average 3 ½ year in a half old can do.

They gave us the option of allowing him o start headstart if we wanted in
dec, but he was too smart for headstart.

What would you do?

We will redgister him in the homeschool program, but I don't know about
sending to a school until he's 3.

They also said if he were old enough, he can start kindergarden/

We're proud of him, and many doubt us because both parents are blind .
people scare me with there amount of stupidity!

Is there any mamas in Janesville Wisconsin that are interristed in meeting
email me
