My little princess Miss Raven is 5 1/2 going on 20! The other day she tells me she wants to have a sleep over with her boyfriend Jacob! I'm like....um no there will be no sleep over with boys! She says, "well we'll just go to a hotel so we can be alone"! WHAT????? Then the hubby reminds me how I've said I'd like to just go to a hotel some night so I can have some alone time! The girl doesn't forget a thing! She just doesn't really have any idea what she's talking about and I sure hope she doesn't tell anyone at her Christian School her crazy ideas about her boyfriend and the hotel! HELP!
My Son is not really that into girls right now. He's 10 1/2. He's VERY into the computer and car racing games and cars. He was more into girls when he was 5. But next year is middle school! Lord help me then. I'm still trying to decide if I keep him at the same school which will be over 3 schools and several classes combined into one, so big! Or, if I send him to Raven's school which is a private Christian school, pay out the money and his class would only be around 19. He knows 2 of the boys in that class. They have a very good middle school and everyone adjusts better then usual by the time they go on to a big high school. I have to really weigh in on what would be best for him. Wish me luck!
Paisley update: She is getting more and more hair. I've trimmed her bangs a couple of times. she really likes her part time daycare and the teachers there. She is 23 pounds at 11 months old. She will walk across the room if she has her balance just right. She still loves to eat almost anything but hates oranges or slippery sour things. She's like her sister and just loves pasta and cheese and ham! She loves her whole milk and can't seem to get enough. We're still working on all the words. She'll say bye, baby, night night, momma, dada, bible (kinda -she loves to read her baby bible), She loves to look at pictures of dogs or watch them on tv. I'll find a video on youtube with dogs and she goes crazy just screaming and pointing at them. Poor thing! Too bad she'll be an adult before she ever lives with one! Oh well that was the case with me and I survived!

Too funny about the hotel : ) Well, funny b/c it isn't my child saying it LOL
Raven is hilarious! That's one you're going to have to write down and tell her when she's older.
Middle-school was the turning point for me with my oldest son and for my oldest daughter. We were in the same boat. With my daughter we sent her to Christian school, which is the largest one in town, k-12 about 4500 kids. She hated it and we started homeschooling. She's very social and athletic so I was really worried about her, but now as a Junior in highschool and after giving her a choice every year, she still loves the homeschooling. The key has been the co-op we use, keeping her really involved in our church activities, and her athletics.
My oldest son sounds like yours. I finally just started homeschooling all the kids because it was silly to have them all in various places. My two boys go to a very structured co-op three days a week. It's awesome and I've found the 6 to one ratio has been wonderful, compared to the 25-28 to one at school. My kids love homeschool so much they've asked to stop their co-ops at times. NO WAY! I'm not super woman!
Middleschool is scary on many levels. And, a reality check on how old your kids are getting! Good luck with your decision, a lot of it depends on how good your local school is. A good school can be just as great as a private school or homeschooling.
You're a mommy that stays on top of things, and really that's the most important part no matter where your kids are.
