August has been great.

His hair generally lays down so this morning hair was really epic.
 

lP put L down for a nap and snagged one for herself too.

As the youngest, L plays with things in a different way than the older kids.  For one, I let him play with these little houses more than I did the others, thinking I was saving them for future littles.  L is the last little so he gets to play with them as toys.  He enjoyed stacking their boxes last time.

L loves the thrift store.  He gets to play with the toys and usually has enough money to buy one.  He got this sweet boat and I took him to the inter coastal to play with it.

L loves cuddles.  He is our most affectionate child.  He's also missing his front teeth at the moment.

L has daily work and a check list that works well for him.  His good and beautiful curriculum asks him to spell sometimes.  It turns out that L is very happy to spell if he can write in giant block letters.  I'm so grateful to be able to homeschool him and let him do whatever works for him.

7 and doing great

 L has been taking vyvance for ADHD and it is helping him.  He has a daily check list of work and he is able to complete his tasks often on his own without giving up.  He sometimes does complain that they use up his energy but he is reading independently and completing worksheet pages.  

We have a deal that on days he takes a nap, he can have computer time after dinner.  Because of M's camp pick up time and us going to the pool, he was supposedly going to nap on the way home.  He was able to hold that thought in his mind and pretended to take a nap for a 40 minute drive.  To me that is a huge accomplishment.
