I just wanted to take a moment and be proud of my kids. First, Eli. We went to parent/teacher conference for Eli and he is doing awesome in 3rd grade. His teacher thinks he is a great kid, and I know he is. He is very smart. She said they gave the kids the test for the end of 3rd grade, to see where the kids are, and he scored a 96%! And he has an average of 100% on all his math tests for the year so far! He is a smart kid and I am proud of him for doing a good job and continuing to try. I am a little concerned that he will not learn anything in 3rd grade (well he does need to work on his handwriting....), but hopefully the teachers will find something to challenge him with :)
Simon turned 5 yesterday! I can't believe he is 5! He is so much fun and so inspiring in his love of life. He is also very smart, he reads like a pro already! He loves preschool and dressing up. He was born at the right time of year because he sure loves Halloween (and Christmas, he is standing here reading as I type and insisting I add Christmas). He is so awesome at making me feel like a great mom because he gets so excited about little things. I bought him a pirate costume for Halloween, various parts from Goodwill, and he was so excited you would think he won the lottery. He told me it was the best ever and I am the best. Ohhhh, so sweet. I wish everyone had a Simon! (But I am keeping mine for myself!)
