Olena has a big issue with getting her nails clipped. This has been a problem since bringing her home and though it has improved a bit in four years, it is still a 45 minute fight just to trim her fingers and toes. She has never been hurt - she just has a problem with it due to her sensory disorder - she is extremely over sensitive when it comes to her feet or hands. I am cutting her nails the other day....

M: I still have to cut it O: NNNNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOO, just leave it ok! Leave them all. I can do it. M: how? you don't know how to use the clippers. O: like this!

O: (as nervous as be) just wait a minute.....**big sigh**....(gr

Your floor is great! I love the simplify strategy - we have been trying it - but I am such a hardened pack rat - its tough!
And, don't worry so much about the comments about homeschooling.... my motto has always been "whatever floats your boat!" Do what is right for your family and helps your child be the best person possible!
You go girl!
Take care!
