Where All the Teachers At?

(yes, Katie, I did that to make you cringe.  HUGS!)

So on my other blog there's been a comment posted (anonymously) saying that you shouldn't teach preschool kids to read.  That it will just "happen on its own".

So all my teaching in-laws need to weigh in, because I didn't know there was any sort of controversy over WHETHER to teach children to read.  Unless one of you were the ones that posted the comment.  If so, you need to fess up :)  'Cause I care what you think, and I ain't gonna be mad! (I'm so excited to see you at Thanksgiving, Katie!)

OH!  And I changed the requirements to post on this blog.  You can do it without any sort of login.  So feel free to converse.

Outtakes of The Stockyard Photo Shoot

Even the bad pictures were pretty good.  Great photographer, and pretty kids.  I'd say "great" kids, but they were not really cooperative.  Claire wanted to take them all herself, and Luke just wanted to run - and it didn't matter where.

New Blog

I've started a new blog about Preschooling at Home . I'm trying to make a little money online via this blog and some of the other stuff I'm writing at other sites. It would be awesome if you could visit, comment, or add to your RSS reader.

Thanks for the help!

Botanic Gardens Photoshoot

My friend Gary is in town, and he's a great photographer.  I some how talked him into going to the botanic gardens with me today to take pictures of the kids.  He likened it to "trying to herd cats".  It was rough!

Here's a couple of outtakes :
