I have no idea how the Flat Stanley blog was received. I think the bro and s-i-l were forced to print the whole sucker out for Niece 2 (or Niece 5, depending on how we're going to count -- do I start on my side and then go to DH's side? or do I count by age from oldest to youngest? or do I just go have lunch?).

She's being home-schooled now while working on her reading. Felt it was much more important that she get the reading help now rather than wait for any public school assistance to show up. And any socializing that she misses out on? eh, she's got personality and confidence aplenty to catch up. Besides, she's got lots of outside interests that are promoted, so she's interacting with Life In General. Hence, she'll be fine.

Me, on the other hand -- always a toss-up. ;-)
