    I survived!

    LOL bit of an exaggeration however...

    I survived my first day with 5 DCK and my own 2 kids. Thus far, I have had 3 DCK and just signed on my other 2, brother and sister. It went well, everyone even slept in one room which I thought for sure wouldnt happen!

    I was a little nervous about adding the other 2 but I figure I will take it one day at a time!

    Awesome - glad it went smoothly for you -
    Children construct their own intelligence. The adult must provide activities and context, but most of all must be able to listen. Children need proof that adults believe in them. Their three great desires are to be listened to, to understand, and to demonstrate that they are exactly what we expect."

    That's crazy! I'm happy with 5 children and really admire those of you who also have your own children in the mix to make big, happy groups. I think I would be so exhausted!
