English lapbook
To complement 3rd grade Rod and Staff, units 2 and 3 extra activities, I created THIS lapbook, called Building Blocks of English. The activity asks her to create a booklet--well, she'll make these mini books instead and paste them into a lapbook!! I thought that would be more fun and more presentable. I was in a hurry when making them, though, so hopefully you can understand them! I really should make more booklets about the various parts of speech that she is learning also, but oh well! She's been using the rules as copywork, so we may include those also.

Numbers
BABIES
Age:
1 month and 2 days
Weight:
Abigail has gained 12 oz in 2 weeks ~ up to 7 lbs 5 oz!!
Elizabeth has gained even more!! 7 lbs 14 oz!!!!!!!!! She is quite the little Hoover when it comes to nursing--none of that lollygagging around like "little" sister.
Length:
They were both a bit over 21 inches.
Size:
Still in newborn clothing, barely--able to wear some 0-3 month items--preemie is TOO small now.....moving to size 1 diapers in less than a week...
SLEEP
I can occasionally get 4 hours of sleep simultaneously!! and it feels TREMENDOUS!
DIAPERS
We used 540 diapers this first month....that is around 9 diapers/day/baby. Considering their weight, it looks like they will soon be in size 1 diapers! We have around 1000 of them stocked up, so MAYBE we won't be having to run to the store till after the New Year?!?
ME
Despite some people worrying about my "skinnyness" {haha!!}, I am amazingly healthy--and I have lost 35 of the 50 pounds I had gained and able to comfortably button size 16 jeans!!! Considering at least 13 lbs was lost when the babies were born, I am doing JUST fine!
NURSING
about every 2 hours for 20-45 minutes, sometimes more, sometimes less......that's "on demand" for my babies!!
SCHOOL
We are currently in week 11 of 42 scheduled [including breaks]. Caught up and wondering how much of a holiday break should really be taken...
