@JaredBusch Did you and your wife use japanese text books (math specifically) for your daughters? I know a lot of them have been translated into english. Do you have any recommendations for some standouts?

My kids have actual Japanese textbooks. We have to pick them up twice a year at the Japanese Consulate in downtown Chicago.
We mostly use them for supplemental learning though.
My kids were/are also subscribed to Benesse Challenge Touch From Pre-K to 6th grade.
Here is an old review in English: https://hiraganamama.wordpress.com/2015/09/09/benesse-challenge-touch-review/Also my kids go to a school that is bilingual Japanese in the classroom. A U.S. public school no less :gasp: :shockface:

More like I wasn't bothering to learn how they were being taught.

We're just about one month away from the estimated delivery date of our daughter (May 28th). The doctor's believe based on the babies measurements that they are accurate to within 1 day. Looks like the baby will be slightly above 8 lbs. Big babies apparently run in Laura's family.
