I HATE this!
It is 12:43 a.m. I left Sophia's room at 8:45 p.m. And she is STILL awake and crying! We have checked on her numerous times though just enough times to make sure she does not have a dirty diaper.
I feel like I have completely abandoned her! I am at a loss, and I don't know what else to do! Most people I talk to say that their child cried for an hour (as if an hour is an eternity). What about 4 hours?!?! Has anyone had a child cry for 4 hours? If so, HELP! I need some advice, reassurance, something.
I've even given her a dose of Tylenol just in case those stinkin' molars are bothering her.
And our entire Bible Study group is praying for us! I need an answer to some prayers!!!

Our Pre-K Curriculum
After months of agonizing and much research, I finally decided on and ordered a Pre-K curriculum. Not that a child really needs a curriculum for Pre-K or even Kindergarten for that matter, but I personally need a little more structure and creativity in our day.
Before I ordered anything, I read The Three R's by Ruth Beechick. I would HIGHLY recommend that anyone with small children (even children under the age of 3 years old) read this book. It is a very quick and easy read. And it calmed my nerves on questioning my own beliefs that a child shouldn't be taught to read until later on in life (until 5, 6 or even 7 years old). Today's society is under the assumption that a child is behind if they aren't reading by the time they are 5 years old. And many people believe that early readers are actually ahead of their peers. Ruth Beechick actually notes an experiment on this specific topic. According to Ms. Beechick, "The 'reading' children, by starting earlier, used up a lot of learning time on the skills of reading, while the 'science' children spent the time learning real stuff. And when they did begin reading, they were older and knew more and learned in a fraction of the time that the others took."
And another point from Ruth Beechick's The Three R's, "This research and others like it are compelling. They drive home the fact that each child has only a limited amount of time in his early years. That time can be squandered in trying to teach reading before the "optimum" time for it. Or it can be used wisely in teaching "real stuff" that the child is ready for."
So, that being said, I have calmed my nerves a bit, and we are going to enjoy the next few years by exploring and experimenting and playing games. Annabelle already knows her letters and most of her letter sounds. I will probably approach this differently with Sophia assuming she doesn't want to keep up with her big sister.
As for Annabelle's Pre-K curriculum, we will be using the following:
Little Hands to Heaven by Heart of Dakota. This is "a fun, complete, hands-on, Bible-based Preschool Program written for 2-5 year olds to enjoy. Little Hands to Heaven is a collection of 33 units based on children's favorite stories from the Bible. Each unit has a theme centered around Bible characters." Heart of Dakota uses a Charlotte Mason approach. If you aren't familiar with a Charlotte Mason education, "her concepts focus on short lessons and readings; selection of 'living books' read purposefully over time; exposure to poetry, music, art, and nature; and her approach to language arts through narration, copywork, dictation, and memorization." Also, she has a "personal belief that knowledge of God and His word is foundational to all learning."
Has anyone ever thought about how well educated and informed we would truly be if we had been taught to read and write using the Bible? The vocabulary used in the Bible is amazing! I need a dictionary beside me when I read it because I wasn't taught to read and write using the Bible since I was government educated, so I obviously didn't score as high on the English portion of the SAT! LOL!
I struggled between using Little Hands To Heaven and the next level up titled Little Hearts For His Glory, but I finally decided on Little Hands To Heaven after reading this blog post from Psalm 127:3. I was already having reservations on using Little Hearts For His Glory based on the depth of history, and she drove home this point in her blog entry. I was on the fence between the two because Annabelle is technically Pre-K based on her October birthday, but she is obviously more on the advanced end of the Pre-K spectrum since she is an older Pre-K. So, I was trying to decide between a Pre-K curriculum versus a Kindergarten curriculum.
Right now I am leaning towards using My Father's World next year for Annabelle's Kindergarten curriculum. It looks super fun, and one of my favorite blogs, Mama Jenn, that I have followed for awhile for homeschool activities uses it with her five children. I almost used it this year, but I changed my mind at the last minute after reading that someone waited to start their younger child on this until they were older because the curriculum was so wonderful and had so many awesome points to drive home with the kids.
Included with the Little Hands To Heaven curriculum is the following:
In addition to Little Hands To Heaven, I have opted to add in some of the Kindergarten options from Little Hearts For His Glory as follows.
Rod and Staff Do It Carefully Workbook
Rod and Staff Finding the Answers Workbook
A Reason for Handwriting K - I haven't purchased this yet. I had decided to move forward, but now I am on the fence with this one for the same reason I don't believe that reading should be taught early. On the other hand, Annabelle has excellent fine motor skills, and she is very interested in handwriting. I'm just not sure a formal handwriting program is necessary at this age.
The Reading Lesson - This was recommended by Heart of Dakota, and it has gotten high reviews. I actually purchased the book and the companion CD-ROM because Annabelle enjoyed so much the free activities they have posted online. Though I'm not sure that it is the "optimum" time for teaching her to read. So, I may put this book aside for awhile and enjoy another year of reading to my sweet little girl. If anyone has any insight on this, I welcome your comments!
I also found a magazine titled God's World News through the My Father's World website that I have ordered. Annabelle and I sat down one morning and looked through the most recent issue online. She truly enjoyed it! The God's World News magazine is specific to Pre-K - Kindergarten, but they have magazine editions to take the children through high school! Very cool!
And last, but certainly not least, we are planning to "row" with Five in a Row. This is a "technique of reading the same story for at least five days in a row." During and after reading, the children learn about science, math, and history from discussions and activities recommended in the Five in a Row volumes. They also have a Before Five in a Row that I wish I had known about when Annabelle was younger. I purchased it so I can row those books with Sophia when she gets to be 2-3 years old. Here is an example of rowing with How to Make an Apple Pie and See the World by Marjorie Priceman completed by Delightful Learning with her younger two children. She also has great examples for using Before Five in a Row.
And, if time, interest and the financial budget allows, I may add in a little time for some online piano lessons by KinderBach recommended by Our Family for His Glory.
I am super excited about our endeavor into this homeschool journey, but I am praying for A LOT of patience and endurance!!! I also hope and pray that we will ALL grow spiritually together as a family through this journey.
Also, if you have small children, I would highly recommend looking into the Little Hands To Heaven guide, the Before Five in a Row book, and the Five in a Row volumes. Even if you are not planning to homeschool, these are great resources for just having a bit of fun with your kiddos. And they are especially awesome guides if you want your family's life to revolve around our Heavenly Father.
And I must add that I cannot thank those other homeschoolers I have met along the way enough! These families are truly amazing! These are the type of people I have longed to meet along the way during the early child rearing years. They are so willing and open to providing much needed assistance and advice. If we haven't already met with some of these families to discuss any and all of our questions on homeschooling (as we have already met with some), there have been offers without our even asking. And just for the record, so far, I haven't found these children or families to be weird and unsocialized!
And the advice from complete strangers through curriculum forums and homeschool websites is also completely amazing! They also find the time to homeschool their children and respond to your questions as they have such strong beliefs in homeschooling and want this to work for others. I am astounded by the support from fellow homeschooling families! Praise God!

- My ABC Bible Verses by Susan Hunt - We haven't reached this portion of the curriculum yet, but I am very excited about the concepts it teaches.
- The Singing Bible - We've only heard one song, but it is super cute! I am looking forward to using this on a daily basis.

Accessorized
Earlier this year I purchased a Groupon for Gymboree for 4 weeks for both girls. The classes, in my opinion, were not all that great, but the 8 passes for open gym time was well worth the money! Both girls had a blast! During this 4 week period from August 11 - September 8, Sophia started finding it necessary to always bring a purse of some sort with her. The first time she felt the need to bring a purse, she grabbed a bag that once held several cans of sunscreen that we had purchased during Costco this summer. She gradually graduated to a purse true in its form.
But during our last week of Gymboree, she also found it necessary to accessorize. We were preparing to walk out the door, and I asked Annabelle, "Where is Sophia?" She was found leaving Annabelle's room with a headband on her head and a purse on her arm.

Perhaps Sophia is going to be my girly girl! Girls are so much fun!
Ballet 2011
Here is Annabelle practicing in the changing room before her first ballet class. She is definitely my little girl now. She is no longer a baby! Where does the time go?
Busy
I feel like a stranger to my own blog! I almost forgot my own login and password since it has been so long since I posted.
We've been blessed with a busy life, though I often think I have overextended myself. And there is a tiny piece of me that still wants more kids. Though I'm not sure why as I often finish the day thinking I'm not made for this job. Maybe I'm hoping I can get it "right" the third or even fourth time around!
I'm blogging this evening because I finally couldn't take any more and decided it was time to let Sophia cry it out. My sweet Sophia! I love that girl! She is truly my sunshine! Annabelle is my joy! But, Sophia, she is my sunshine!
Annabelle and I are like two peas in a pod. But Sophia and I are like night and day. Neither Annabelle nor I really dig the mornings. But that Sophia is ready to hit the ground running first thing in the morning if anyone else is willing. Of my two children, Annabelle is the least affectionate (much like myself). But not my Sophia. She loves to snuggle. She will snuggle with me in bed in the morning until she hears her sister's bedroom door open. Then she immediately wants to jump down to find Annabelle. Annabelle completely ignores her. I know that feeling of not wanting to talk to anyone in the morning. Annabelle asked me just yesterday why Sophia always cries when Annabelle shuts her bedroom door behind her in the morning after Annabelle has used the restroom first thing in the morning and goes back to her bedroom to make her bed. I told her it was because she didn't even say "Good morning Sophia!" Annabelle said, "Why is she so happy in the morning?" I don't understand it myself, Annabelle. But, she's about the only cheery person I've ever been able to stand in the morning. Annabelle has never been cheery in the morning! Just this morning Annabelle changed her tune and sweetly said, "Good morning Sophia!" as she hugged her sister. They are so sweet to each other. Strike that! Annabelle is so sweet to Sophia! Sophia is a bit of an affectionate trouble maker. Hence the fact that she threw sand at her sister several times today after being instructed not to do so. Hubby and I had to turn our heads and giggle a bit. Annabelle just takes the beatings with stride!
So, I'm rambling. Letting Sophia cry was not nearly as hard as letting Annabelle cry when she was 18 months old. Though I have really been lacking in the sleep department with Sophia. She has pretty much always woken up every 3-4 hours. It is as if we have had a newborn baby for 17 months straight! She feels the need to nurse 2 or 3 times during the night as well. (Yes, I'm still nursing). I am sure the nighttime wakings are not going to stop immediately either, but we're going to take it in stride. Unlike Annabelle, Sophia cried for a good 45 minutes straight this evening, and I didn't hear her last whimper until around 9:55 p.m. Strike that! She just started crying again at 10:34 p.m. I left her room at 8:35 p.m. Though her cries so far are strictly cries and not screams, so that is definitely comforting.
Besides the lack of sleep, here is what we've been up to lately.
1. We started teaching Annabelle's Sunday School Class back in August. Though we've only taught one Sunday so far. We teach again this coming Sunday.
2. Annabelle started ballet at the Decatur School of Ballet on Wednesday, September 7. She seems to be enjoying herself after only two classes. Though I am having a hard time adjusting to a new schedule. She is currently learning to spin and skip. Who knew skipping could be so hard? Not that we haven't practiced ourselves before, but skipping is a hard gross motor skill to master. I've actually read somewhere that a child isn't ready to read until they can sway their arms in an opposite direction from the leg skipping forward. Or something like that.
3. Hubby and I started a pretty intense Bible Study on Wednesday evenings for 2.5 hours. It is a 34 week commitment. I need prayers that the girls can tough through these long days and stay healthy. Perhaps I can convince my sweet parents to watch them on Wednesday nights so they can stay free and clear of hand, foot and mouth disease! Yuck! Apparently it has been making its way through the daycare center run by our church.
4. I agreed to work one day a weekend through October 15 at the public accounting firm I have been working at since I graduated from college. The extra cash is definitely a plus, especially during these economic times, but it definitely adds a bit of stress to our household.
5. Annabelle started her second year of choir on Wednesday, September 14. Hubby and I were attending the Bible Study during this hour, so my parents picked her up from choir and took the girls home for a normal bedtime. But the next day she was already singing several of the songs to me. She really seems to enjoy choir too.
6. We officially started our first day of Homeschool Pre-K yesterday. The curriculum I chose is centered completely around God. I doubt myself constantly in this role as teacher that I feel God has chosen us to take on in the coming years (if it works for us), so I need prayers that we are truly following God's will. And I especially need prayers that God will provide me with the patience I need to educate this strong-willed, must do it her way, child. I can see that after only one day she is going to be a challenge!!!
I hope you all haven't given up on me yet since I haven't posted since July! If you haven't, please feel free to leave a comment!

The High Chair Summit
Need I say more?
Hubby snapped this picture this evening shortly after dinner while we were all still sitting around the kitchen table. This wasn't the first time today that she climbed into the high chair all by herself. The first time was at breakfast this morning when I wasn't around to see. Annabelle and I were in the kitchen discussing her breakfast options. I had just asked the girls if they were hungry for breakfast. Apparently Sophia was as I found her sitting properly in her high chair waiting on me to bring her tray and food. Pretty much just like this next picture.
What 15 month old climbs into her high chair all by herself? I thought "Annabelle never climbed this much at 15 months," until I looked back at old blog posts from back then. Apparently, this household is full of climbers. Though Sophia seems to be a little more advanced in her climbing capabilities.
