Today is day 8 of our dairy days!!! Can you believe it? She is doing SO well with it! Today our little peanut will get 4 ounces of milk. She has had 3 ounces in her oatmeal this morning and I will mix the last 1 ounce with her rice milk when she wakes up from her nap. Yesterday we used the last 2 1/2 scoops of her Neocate. Yaaaaaa!!! Can you see daddy's wallet getting plumper? We haven't started the coconut milk yet (we might not if the dairy continues to go well!), so we have to ensure she gets an appropriate amount of fat each day. Truly not an easy task! She doesn't seem to mind the rice milk alone though, it is really quite sweet.
Sissy had her first volleyball game on Tuesday night. We all went as a family. The littles had a blast playing with the basketballs and volleyballs off to the side of the church gym. Homeschooling families have LOTS of kids! There were so many littles running around :) Our little peanut even got involved! Believe it or not she was able to keep up with them!! She has a new pair of soft shoes, and she really thinks she is something. Once daddy put her down with the other littles, she was off! It was tougher trying to keep track of her than it was the twins. Daddy said he won't make that mistake again :) He says he's not letting her down at the next game (yeah, we will see what she has to say about that)! Well, they won the first 3 matches (they play 3 out of 5)! What a way to start the season!! Sissy played great!! She started the game out serving and got 3 or 4 points right off the bat :) Yahoo!! I took my camera to get some action pics but the only action pics I was going to get was of us chasing the littles! Maybe next time. Her next game is tomorrow against a really tough team. Keep your fingers crossed.
Home learning with the littles has just mainly been a review from last year so far. I put out on the shelves everything we ended with last year. I wanted to see what they were still interested in, what they needed presented again, blah, blah, blah. The practical life activites were a hit again. I have definitely figured out we need more pouring and sorting activities out! Brother J spent alot of time sorting and pouring. Brother S spent most of his time with the cylinder blocks (his favorite from last year). I'm taking the time to prepare more activites that we will put out for next week.
Today is going to be busy! Preparing a menu and grocery list for daddy, me and little peanut have doctor's appt.'s, Sissy has school (she is going with us this afternoon to sit with the boys :) Better get busy!! Here are a couple of pics from our first day of learning:
