Sterling's Day Off

Sterling is off from school today. Jhett gets so upset when he has to go to school & Sterling doesn't. But Jhett is off on the 17th, so it evens out. But he doesn't believe it does! I think Sterling is about to hit a growth spurt. He is eating us out of house & home. He will finish one meal, & want to know how long it is until the next meal. He's like his Meana, who eats all day long too! I can't keep up.

Yesterday's sentences:

Doulas help moms have babies. (Jhett - 1 point)

Doulas help moms get babies. (Sterling - Ok, so it's a little off, but he's only 5! - 1 point)

If my pregnant wife goes to the hospital to deliver our baby, she won't need a doula. (Meana- 1 point)

I prefer a doctor instead of a doula near when giving birth...& epidurals! (Mom - 1 point)

The word for today is dilettante \DIL-uh-tont; dil-uh-TONT; dil-uh-TON-tee; -TANT;
-TAN-tee\, noun:
1. An amateur or dabbler; especially, one who follows an art
or a branch of knowledge sporadically, superficially, or for
amusement only.
2. An admirer or lover of the fine arts.

I think the grounding thing worked yesterday, because Jhett made 3 - 100's & an 80, & Sterling made a 100! Whew!

I am so glad that today is Friday. I look forward to spending time with the boys & Emily. I am so blessed to have them in my life. Even though they drive me crazy sometimes. But that's what children do, right?
