First day of School!

I realize I posted Meliah's first day of school but not Lizzy and Christian's. Lizzy just started Kindergarten and her teacher is Mrs. Dempsey. Christian is in the 6th grade in Middle School at Manzanita. I was at a family reunion for the 1st day of school, so I avoiding crying when I left Lizzy for her first day. So, here are the pictures from the 2nd day of school, close enough, right?

My Lizzy Lou has been ready for school for a long time!

Here she is with her friends, Megan, Cate and Kennison

Christian - 6th grade

My parenting plan!!

I have been thinking a lot lately of what I need to teach my kids to help them become independant physically, spiritually and mentally so when they turn 18 they will be able to survive on their own. The last 9 years has flown by so quickly I can't believe it. Nine more years and my first child will be old enough to be on his own. That is a real wake up call for a mother who hasn't prepared her children for those important days. I realize that I have gone on way to long without a list of what needs to be learned and done by what age so that my kids will not be horrified when they get out into the world alone. So, I've come up with a list of most everything I can think of that would be important for my kids to know and learn and what ages they should be capable. Of course, every child is different and is capable of different things at different ages. Some learn things faster and are more motivated. Others would like to just live in the home cave for the rest of their lives and have no motivation to do any of it. So, I am including my fairly flexible plan. But if you let too many years slip by, you may need to up the work to fit everything in. I got most of my ideas from a very experienced LDS author (Merilee Boyack) who has raised several children successfully! So, hopefully you find this as helpful as I do!
