This kid is H U G E

My 6 month old is 23 lbs and 30". We had to give up the infant car seat far too early for my liking. And having a baby this large brings its own set of homeschooling challenges. For example, I have to consider that I cannot hold 23 lbs for all 3 hours of a field trip. But not all places are condusive to bringing a stroller. He is half the weight of my 5 yr old son. And 100th percentile!

They never cease to amaze me!

I have always expected my lefty to be more creative than logical, doodling on essays and preferring "randomness" over order. I also know that this is a generalization.

The instruction from LHTH was to "decorate the 'A' with the Cheerios". Which picture belongs to which child?

The results were completely the opposite to what I had been expecting. I had thought that my logical, perfectionist, left-brained righty would place the Cheerios neatly on the 'A'. I had thought that my creative, anything goes, right-brained lefty would have Cheerios everywhere on the page BUT on the 'A'. It was completely the opposite and the left 'A' belongs to DD6 and the right belongs to DS5.

Who woulda thunk it?
