Back to School!



The boys have been back in school for about a week now and things are going really, really well. The boys both love their teachers and have settled into the morning and homework routines very smoothly. Henry is doing most of his homework on his own and has only come to see a couple of times for help in math. He is becoming a more responsible young man I am so pleased. Jeff was tested and placed into the gifted program at North Bay. I was a little apprehensive (and still am on some levels) about labeling children as young as Jeff, but on the other hand he will have more opportunities to be creative in the gifted class and he LOVES the visual arts. He would draw all day at school if they let him! On another note, for the first time ever I am keeping a little boy during the day. I was super nervous, but it is working out better than I even hoped. He and Jenna are the same age and they play so well together. They play and imagine and create all day. Jenna has been worn out at dinner time everyday he's been here. Once they both start Pre School in September I will only keep him in the afternoons. It is truly a blessing for both our familes!
