Playing Catch-Up
Time just flies when you're having so much fun, right?! I'm not really sure where the last 2 weeks have gone.
Josh lost tooth #2 on the 6th. He refuses to wiggle his teeth, so by the time they fall out the new tooth has already started growing in behind it. His top 2 teeth are both wiggly right now, but he's not interested in speeding up the process. I'm going to have to keep pestering him so I can enjoy his toothless grin before the new teeth break through!
Sadly, one of his classmates spoiled the fun of the Tooth Fairy before he'd lost his first tooth so it's been different for me this time around. It didn't take him long to figure out that the Easter Bunny and Santa aren't real either... I'm not sure I was ready for that! He's only 6. I thought I'd have at least a few more years to stretch out the fun.
Oh well.
Parent-teacher conferences were last week.
- We were a little worried that Kenna might not pull straight A's since she'd been struggling with Math and Grammar, but she did it! Her teacher thanked me for raising such a polite and responsible (huh?!) young lady and said she was a joy to have in class. I really her teacher and the kids seem to enjoy her as well!
- Jake was given all A's as well! It's his first year for letter grades, so he was stoked :) His teacher showed me his MAP test scores and he did so well, especially since it was his first time taking this test! He scored just a few points below "gifted" in Math and Reading and "gifted" in Literature. No, I'm not proud of him at all!!
- Josh did really well also. He met all the standards he was supposed to meet, but he has a little trouble working without disturbing others and finishing his work on time. Mr. Funny Man has trouble?! Color me NOT surprised! His teacher is wonderful though and he is learning (albeit slowly) that there's a time and place for funny business and it's not usually in the classroom. He really enjoys school, especially the daily journaling!
I have to say that I really appreciate being able to observe my kids in the school setting. It's probably one of the bigger perks of working there! I think the kids like it too. At least 2 of the 3 give me a hug at some point during the school day :)
Anything else? Oh, yes, guess who was officially introduced as the new den leader for her son's Tiger den? I'm not sure what I was thinking when I decided to take that on, but hopefully it'll be a fun experience for all of us. I'll be honest... I've resisted from the beginning, hoping that another parent would step up and volunteer since our activity plate is already so full. No one did though, so here I am. I think it might be good for me since I'm being forced to do things that are outside of my comfort zone. You know, like getting up in front of a room of parents and actually having to speak! Aiyiyi!
All right. Laundry is calling and I really should start listening before it takes over the entire house! Until next time, Amigos!
