RMers with kids

[Bammer]

I think it was right after labor day

[wease]

Damn. That’s how it was back in the day.

We’ve been out for a month but start back the third week of July.

July?!

[B]

Off to Disney World tomorrow. Weep for me.

[E.H. Ruddock]

Orlando in the summer? Wtf B

July?!

I knew Tennessee was pretty backwards, but this is unreal.

I knew Tennessee was pretty backwards, but this is unreal.

I guess it’s a humanitarian effort to get kids back into air conditioned buildings.

[B]

Orlando in the summer? Wtf B

I don't make these choices. I just accept them.

Damn. That’s how it was back in the day.

We’re in what they call a “year-round” program. And instead of 6-week terms we’re on 9-week.

[wease]

Off to Disney World tomorrow. Weep for me.

I’m having to go at Thanksgiving.

[Monkey_Driven]

Damn. That’s how it was back in the day.

July?!

Yeah, that seems absurd.

[wease]

Damn. That’s how it was back in the day.

July?!

Yeah, that seems absurd.

They go for 9 weeks, then off 2. Then go for 9 weeks, then off 2. Then 9 on, 2 off. Then, the final 9 weeks, then out for 9 weeks.

Do they have an all day before/after school program for those weeks they are off? That seems like a nightmare for parents.

They do not. They’re basically fall break, Christmas break and spring break

Potty training commences Sunday.

There is a wolf in me . . . fangs pointed for tearing gashes . . . a red tongue for raw meat . . . and the hot lapping of blood—I keep this wolf because the wilderness gave it to me and the wilderness will not let it go.

There is a fox in me . . . a silver-gray fox . . . I sniff and guess . . . I pick things out of the wind and air . . . I nose in the dark night and take sleepers and eat them and hide the feathers . . . I circle and loop and double-cross.

There is a hog in me . . . a snout and a belly . . . a machinery for eating and grunting . . . a machinery for sleeping satisfied in the sun—I got this too from the wilderness and the wilderness will not let it go.

There is a fish in me . . . I know I came from salt-blue water-gates . . . I scurried with shoals of herring . . . I blew waterspouts with porpoises . . . before land was . . . before the water went down . . . before Noah . . . before the first chapter of Genesis.

There is a baboon in me . . . clambering-clawed . . . dog-faced . . . yawping a galoot's hunger . . . hairy under the armpits . . . here are the hawk-eyed hankering men . . . here are the blonde and blue-eyed women . . . here they hide curled asleep waiting . . . ready to snarl and kill . . . ready to sing and give milk . . . waiting—I keep the baboon because the wilderness says so.

There is an eagle in me and a mockingbird . . . and the eagle flies among the Rocky Mountains of my dreams and fights among the Sierra crags of what I want . . . and the mockingbird warbles in the early forenoon before the dew is gone, warbles in the underbrush of my Chattanoogas of hope, gushes over the blue Ozark foothills of my wishes—And I got the eagle and the mockingbird from the wilderness.

O, I got a zoo, I got a menagerie, inside my ribs, under my bony head, under my red-valve heart—and I got something else: it is a man-child heart, a woman-child heart: it is a father and mother and lover: it came from God-Knows-Where: it is going to God-Knows-Where—For I am the keeper of the zoo: I say yes and no: I sing and kill and work: I am a pal of the world: I came from the wilderness.

Potty training commences Sunday.

Our experience was about three months of non-activity (she was vaguely interested in the potty, it was basically a toy). Then one day we started the real process and six weeks later it was completely mastered.

Good luck!

My boss watched our kids when we came out to RMpalooza In Missoula, and when we got home they were potty trained.

My wife is devouring a book on it and thinks we can get it done in a week.

Can you hold down the fort while I fly them in for a few days?

My youngest was in an at home daycare, and the woman running just took her pants and diaper away. Potty training happened nearly immediately.
