February 25th, 2020

Today I had a lot of anxiety... or nervousness or something. I feel so un...  Like professor UN.
I used to think I could like have the perfect house and family... and that all that would go wrong would have nothing to do with me, my husband or my kids... and I was wrong. And my dream is not realistic. And now what?
I had the dream that I could pursue midwifery and homeschool my kids. And then there was a climax which led to a trauma, which led to so many strange and weird places... And now, I'm afraid to dream. What if I just go back to trying to get a little bit of that first dream... Like the clean house and the delicious smells to come home to... Is that doable?
Adam:
I learned that um never switch places with people because then you're not gonna know a bunch about them and it's not gonna be fun and soon they will recognize you are not their child, etc...
I have learned that you should never forget to take dogs out every morning for exercise and to go potty, because they might get extra tired and lazy. I suggest that you do all that stuff, because then if you don't that is gonna happen.
Abe:
He switched clothes because he wanted to go do something and then go back and have a wonderful life. That's all he wanted to do.
What I've learned about dogs is that if Jaq looks straight up at me then he needs to go potty.
Peter:
What I learned is never switch families cuz then you have a different life and you're not used to that life so it's going to be a little annoying for a while. Then you'll get used to it and if you get used to it, that's bad cuz then you won't want to go back to your family where you belong.
I learned that if our dog looks straight up at you it needs to go pee or poop. And give a dog its space.
Helaman:
perhaps he learned lavender doesn't always help burns...?

Reproductive Learning

Today I taught the little 4 boys about the reproductive system. I used some anatomy pics from an instructional/educational video on YouTube, as well as a beautiful animation of the labor process. We Peter wanted to learn to tune to Billy Boy, so we looked it up.
Peter: I learned the tune to Billy Boy and how a baby comes out. It comes out of the vagina. I learned that girls and boys have different body parts. Do not shake a baby.
Adam: I learned that you should never shake a baby or else they might get brain damage or die. I also learned that a baby comes out of the vagina. When a baby comes out it starts crying and it's really disturbing to a girl. I learned the tune to Billy Boy. I learned that boy reproductive parts are outside of their bodies and girl reproductive parts are inside of their bodies. The baby grows in the uterus. Breasts make milk for the baby. Some people who get too much milk transfer it to people who don't make enough milk.
Abe: I learned that babies poop and pee in their pants. If you shake a baby it will die. Eggs come out of an ovary of a girl. If it gets fertilized it will turn into a baby. Baby's umbilical cord are attached to their bellies. A belly button is a scar from an umbilical cord.
Helaman: Boy parts are called Penis and Testicles. I learned the path the pee takes in a boy. Girls have different parts. Girl can grow babies inside of them.
