I know they aren't perfect, but this is the first time EVER I've done my own hair. I usually just wear a washngo. When I tell you that I cannot braid, I mean it. I watched about 20 hours of youtube for this lol. I'm loving it and can't wait to tey other styles.

I'm on day 10 without added sugar and going a bit mad with cravings, so I attempted a dessert/candy bar ball thing. I'm pretty much a sugar addict, so this was far from what I wanted (Snickers or half baked Ben n Jerry's) but not bad and the cravings are gone.

Natural peanut butter (salt, peanuts)

Unsweetened cacao nibs

Unsweetened shredded coconut

Chopped dates

Crushed cashews

Edited again to say THANK YOU to everyone for helpful resources and suggestions. I appreciate the ideas I get from this community, always creative answers and great jumping off points. I have some good starting points. I wil not be responding to anymore posts, because Time. TY 💓

Hi all. So my kiddo reads very well independently. He read the back of this pokemon book this morning perfectly, but he has a hard time sounding out words to spell. Picture of worksheet attached that we tried this morning. He couldn't figure out any blends on his own, except spider. I had to say the words so slowly and really hit the second letters. I don't understand why he can read the sounds but not hear them when he speaks. My only thought is some of his pronunciation still has that baby slur?? He says CRAB with a W instead of an an R.

Any insights or resources on improving spelling? Thank you!!

eta: just adding that he's 6.5, going into first, so no one accuses me of forcing a 4yo to spell lol. He came to reading very naturally in his own time.
