Monday through Friday (today) I have woken up right around 9am each morning. This is VERY good for me! See, during summer – and weekends – and any other day the children do not have school, I sleep until ten. Or eleven, some days? Even noon.

Unfortunately school starts next Wednesday so I have to get my body used to waking up again to make sure the boy’s have clean clothes on and have had their breakfast. I have no idea what I am going to do with the youngest while his brothers are in school. The kids play so well together that I am basically not needed except to attach their feedbags.

But in five more days it will be just me and Logan. Five days a week. And I am worried that I will not be able to keep him entertained. WITHOUT liberal use of television!

I have several things I want Logan to learn before this time next year – becuase next year HE goes to school. So far Logan has shown little to no interest in learning things like his ABC’s or his numbers.

He can somewhat recite the alphabet, but i would like him to be able to do all 26 letters without error. He can count to about 20, but only when HE feels like counting. But the most worrying to me is his absolute refusal to learn how to write his name. At four he is still scribbling wildly. He refuses to color in the lines, or even around the lines. He does not write his name and I have yet to figure out how to get him to hold his pencil right!

Also? Some time this year he needs to learn how to wipe his own butt!
