DO IT DO IT!! I am HS'ing my son!
Well, she's 1...so we have time. We are already working with flash cards and reading though. I also make sure she knows a cat is a cat, not a "kitty". Another of my pet peeves. Lily calls everything what it is. We try not to teach her cutesy names for things. Some things still get other names because of outside influences at times, but I try to limit it. A chicken is a chicken, a dog is a dog, a cat is a cat...

No need to apologize. Dyslexia is more common than we think and it's a hard thing to deal with. I think you do just fine. My phone has auto correct and it drives me nuts because if I don't watch closely or check before I hit send it will send some funky sounding messages!!
I would love to be able to homeschool my kids but not sure I have the patience to tackle two of them at once and I am very happy with the school they attend! They are in first grade and doing most things at a second grade level.
Please and thank you are also forgotten things. It's nice to know that there are some parents out there teaching their kids proper manners. Holding the door open is another one that bugs me. I will have grown men open the door, walk in and let it slam behind them. We are talking grown men that grew up in the era where it was something you were taught to always do. I guess the women's lib movement ruined that one but I always make sure to thank anyone that does do it. I am not a stranger to holding the door open for others no matter the gender.

YES!! I got so many nasty comments from older people in the grocery store when my son was little...I put my son in the shopping cart; and he scooted up
to the front and pinched his pe**s (just in case it edited it lol) and he hollered out my pe**s! and cried..so many many older ppl said I should be ashamed
and he shoujldnt be allowed to call it that..I'm like WTHeck do you want him to call it? most said "wee-wee, private, willy, wanker and my fave "the thing"...

I once read somewhere that children who are spoken to in normal voices and not the "googoo gaga" voice are much smarter and more advanced when it comes to language. It is hard to not get all googoo and gaga over a little one though!!!
I have to disagree with the dog is a dog etc.... My dogs think they are garbage disposals and sometimes they are. My cat thinks she is Superman and she's not. And my chickens think they are royalty and all things should center around them and it usually does!!!
Oh btw I guess you really aren't old if you have a one year old!!! Unless it's a love child!!

I am VERY proud to say my 13 yr old does it about 85% of the time for me and my girls AND strangers!!!!
Most of the women just walk thru and look at him like he's sporting 10 heads...the teens laugh at him and the older men
sometimes says thanks but the majority just ignore him...
He also helps everyone he sees; I demand respect from my kids and demand they treat anyone OLDER than hiim with respect..to the point
where he is to help when they dont even ask for it...if they look like they could use it..offer it..and he does..
as a matter of fact; he just got a letter in the mail the other day from a lady in spfld that apparently he spoke with after she dropped a bag of groceries and
he helped pick them up and put them in her car (I was loading my car and the girls..3 spots away all the while watching closely)..and I guessed he told her he was
from our town..so here this letter arrives with only his name on it and the town...(small town lol and a postmaster who knows us very well)...the letter was thanking
him for his help and that she was just in awe of it and told everyone she came in contact with that day about such a helpful little man in (our town)...
this is just one of the RAK's he has done...
when our town had a huge fire ...he spotted a lady who was crying ont he side of the road (we were all watching the fire)...he left my side; went to sit down with her and
put his arm around her (he was 11 1/2 then..MAYBe 12)..I went down there a few minutes later...and sat with him and her...
he later told me that she was upset because her friend went back into the apartment to get her pets..she died...
a few weeks later this woman seen me at the store...she thanked me for raising such a good son..I said; "well, thank you but I'm just raising him the best I can, the rest is God!"
There are some really good teens now..but their stories are outshined by the crappy decisions selfish ppl make on the news/paper etc..

You should be proud for raising such a fine young man. Go on and pat yourself on the back! He will make someone a good husband someday. It is true that with all the bad in our media these days it does outshine the good deeds of others. I am not sure where parents got off track with their kids but I feel bad for this generation growing up. It's gonna be a rough world out there for them.

I hope that my post wont be taken as my kid does all good; he still is a turd sometimes and he occasionally talks back to me...but for the most part..he's a great kid...
he does fight w/his sisters like YOU WOULDNT BELIEVE THO LOL

He wouldn't be normal if he didn't screw up now and again! Have you ever met a kid that didn't fit with his/her siblings? I have twins and they sometimes fight like cats and dogs and I ask them how they could have spent 9 months in such tight quarters. I did get kicked quite a lot so maybe it started before birth!!!
