Math is an area my DS does well also, we homeschool and that allows us to move at their pace. Is that an option for you guys?
I hope you will be able to figure out the best option for your family and DS!!

You have all the right in the world to be concerned over the best care for your daughter. If it sets your mind at ease then talk to the director and see what the policy is. But, this might be the best teacher your daughter will ever encounter!! Trust your mom heart. I would think twice myself because of the things I have been through! Good Luck.
We never had experience with a Montessori school. Good luck with your decision!
We didn't do more than one thing at a time. Just like PP. Kids enjoy just playing. Less stressful schedule. No running every single day!
OP- So what do you do? Do you let your kids do one sport a season?
We have had that also and at one point it was an awful habit. Have you tried to tell him you don't understand him with "that voice"? That always worked for us. I never responded if they talked like that till they changed their voice. Hang in there!!
Hang in there it does seem to get better they better they can communicate!!

I have cried no less than 8 times today. I don't know what is going on. He says I am micromanaging him, I say he is an asshole when he has less than 6 hours of sleep and takes everything I say automatically out of of context.
At the core, I feel done. I don't want to fight with him. But fuck him also. I am healing from giving birth, I'm sore, I'm tired, my body, time and mind have been taken over by feeding timebschdules. I want to scream and lose it on him but am just losing it.
Normal? Not for us. I'm at the end of my rope here. Tell me everyone else is fighting with their spouse. Tell me I'm not the only one. Tell me it is normal. I need to hear good news at the end of this planned pregnancy, this is what we wanted, you stayed up all night and played video games before the baby came so why are you sleepy now, asshole tunnel.
IT IS NORMAL. Your not the only one!! How old is baby? It gets better but it takes work. Communication is key!! Being able to have those conversations about how your feeling helps DH understand. I have been married 16 years now and the road was not always easy. But we choose to LOVE when we didn't quite feel like it! That's when life really starts happening because you decide to work and fight for the best thing ever and that's your marriage! Hang in there!
Did you ever find out how long she cries for? I think it would be interesting see if its just a transition thing or something bigger. Good luck!
I think its a matter of prospective. You are doing great things with them. We live 35-45 mins from everything we do. But we love living in a more rural area. The kids have more room to play and explore. They fort building is starting to look like a little village. I think it all depends how you look at it. Good luck!
We did swim lessons in the summer. We never did swim lessons in the winter and every year they hope right back in the pool. By the end of the summer they are better than at the beginning. What's your goal in year round swim lessons?

I do worry, however, that I need to be getting more proactive about making mom friends so he will have playmates. Do I? I am a total introvert and it pains me to hang out with people. I have two close friends, a great DH, and a tight knit family -- and that is more than enough for me. I hate entertaining and going to networking/social events, etc. I tried joining a mommy group when he was first born and I just couldn't stand it.
So be straight with me -- when do I need to suck it up and start making mom friends for my DS's sake? DS is starting part-time preschool in September -- should I be organizing weekend playdates at that point? Thank you!
I think a couple great friends are better than lots of people to call friends. I think you son will make natural friends at preschool that can be invited to play dates and stuff. I say just do what works for you!
Congratulations on the new baby. Our oldest had a hard time also Have you let your ODD "help" you with the baby, like getting diapers and even helping the nanny get a bottle? It helped us a lot for our oldest to not feel excluded. Maybe also make special mommy only time when your YDD is sleeping! Hang in there it gets better and easier!!
OP- I'm so sorry its probably frustrating on both of you! Did the staff give you any specific examples to what happened so that you guys can help address them? Maybe then it won't be a full set back but can be used to help continue the progress of his improvement! Hang in there !!
Fun!!!! Travel the US and see all the major sites, Mount Rushmore, Redwood forest, Grand Canyon.....etc and see the little ones in between.
I think its great that you recognize your independence but still consider her help!! Sounds like you have a great mom! Can she come and you guys just play it by ear?
