The lack of extra "hands" is most noticeable when trying to herd cows, of course, and when strawberry season hits we'll be overwhelmed without them. But such is the order of life. We're happy they're doing so well.<br /><br />- PatricePatrice Lewishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06012022335047974670noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5526768924178592295.post-77466812467740041742018-03-12T18:56:03.874-07:002018-03-12T18:56:03.874-07:00No less work on the homestead and you're down ...No less work on the homestead and you're down two good hands.

She called to complain, later she caught him again and asked him a question about what she was teaching. He gave her a full and complete answer that was correct. I have always wondered if he was multitasking or if he, through his voracious reading, already knew the answer. The teacher quit bothering him.Stevenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5526768924178592295.post-37657026721652064892018-03-11T11:15:53.212-07:002018-03-11T11:15:53.212-07:00Boys tend to mature slower than girls--usually 1-2...Boys tend to mature slower than girls--usually 1-2 years slower. A silly, wiggly freshman boy will suddenly be a serious, quiet guy in his sophomore year. At a high school open house I explained this to the mother of one of the very immature boys who had not seen that behavior in her daughter at the same age but suspected that might be the problem. Another mother overheard us and came over and hugged me--she had a son who was an only child and was very concerned that he wasn't as mature as a female cousin. She felt less pressured and waited and found that indeed her son was a different person the next year. She had actually been thinking that the problem was ADHD and might have given in the "treatment".Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5526768924178592295.post-31377415901687295832018-03-11T09:12:56.652-07:002018-03-11T09:12:56.652-07:00Totally understand - here too.
