Scientific studies

There are all kinds of studies out there. Some studies out there on simple things to how many calories you should have in a day to how foods affect the Cancer cells in your body.

I really think that there should be a study on "why 2nd born children have more troubles"  I seriously think this is a thing.  I know a lot of people and thanks to Facebook have read many more stories about 2nd born children having more difficulties in learning.

My own child my 2nd born, She has difficult reading.  She has some form of dyslexia.  My school is finally looking into it more and hopefully we are starting on a path to getting her help.  She's in grade 5.  Since she was a baby she would have problems with sounds, she would leave the first letter of a word or replace it with an easier sound.  English is a very hard language to learn there are so many variables.

My question is why the 2nd child?  Is it because the first child has your one on one attention? Is it because the first child talks for the 2nd child?  Does the age gap between the 1st and 2nd child matter?  I have 4 kids the twins are my "middle" children.  They both have learning issues, but my 2nd child is the one with the most learning issues.  Is it because her brain is wired a different way?  These are the types of questions I would like answers too.

I'm hoping by the end of the year to have some answers.  It would be nice to have it sooner but of course nothing works like that.

Winter, Winter, Winter

It's freezing cold outside.  We have been having extreme cold fronts.  Thank god they are not lasting long.  Last year it was weeks and weeks at a time.  This year it's only a few days at a time.

By the end of the week it's suppose to be -3.  That is wonderful.  I much enjoy winter when you can get out and enjoy it.

Assiniboine Park Zoo

We went to the zoo during the Christmas break.  It was fun and the animals were so lively.  It was much better then going during the summer when all the animals are so hot they don't move around.

We even got to see the new polar bear cubs.  Blizzard and Star they were off to the side from the other polar bears.  There were in the original bear inclosure.

Not sure which one this is, but they were so cute playing with the toys.  I think we have to go back more in the winter time.  Although not right now because it's like -37 with the windchill  brrr!!
