I think I'm getting the hang of our 'new normal'. It's definitely a lot busier than our 'old normal'. I knew that was the calm before the storm, though. Things were way too easy for a few months there. This 'new normal' means doing school while nursing a baby and getting everything else done when she's asleep. School is about the only thing I can do when she's awake right now because she doesn't like to be put down yet (imagine that!). She also likes to nurse constantly when she's awake, more than any of my other babies. Come to think of it, she also likes to be held and talked to more as well. So we do our family work while she naps and when she wakes up we sit down to read and learn. The funny thing is that she seems to like school time too. She's never more content (during waking hours) than when I'm reading out loud.
I was pretty pleased with this week. For the first time in several weeks we had an almost full school week: four out of five days! That fifth day was awesome, too, because we went to the circus instead. :)
