[QUOTE="keista, post: 430935, member: 11965"] Thanks for the support and research offer, but I've done/do the same. Now that the kids are older they research stuff themselves. Especially science stuff! They all LOVE sciency stuff! For years we've made our own play doh, goop, gooze silly putty, etc. I've never personally purchased a coloring book - get sheets online. Finding stuff online is especially great since it takes you on tangents and you discover stuff you never even imagined (Can you tell I LOVE the internet) I thought I was doing OK with it, but like EVERYTHING in my life, it seems, I really don't know what that "normal" is - doesn't bug me except the fact that that's what I'm supposed to be shooting for,especially with difficult child. In our house, we do say that "Normal is boring and overrated. Different is interesting and exciting, but sometimes we do have to pretend to be normal" by the way as per your previous post, My Aunt also always says "Only boring ppl get bored" I have told her to NEVER use that expression with DD1 - I will argue it with her in front of my daughter, and that may cause a loss of DD1's respect for her, which is not what I want.
