• Proud Momi Moments

  
  

  Michael struggles with spelling, I understand this, I wish that he could spell, but he has a mental block that just makes it almost impossible for him.  He can read anything, but if he has to come up with the letters to write on the paper, he's blank.  I figure it's like when you study a foreign language and some time in your third year, you figure out that you can read it, but you can't speak it.  If you try to draw up the words, you are blank.  You can understand what they are saying to you, but you can't say anything back to them.  Today, my son got a 100% on his spelling test. 

  
  

  

  
  

  Tucker had his moment to shine as well.  He came home with ZERO formal warnings.  Now this kid has averaged 3 a day since he started school, and more than once he's gotten so creative in his determination to test limits that he's had to brign home special notes to inform his parents of his school time activities.  But he actually made it through a WHOLE DAY without a single warning.  Way to go kid.  You know what was even better though, I asked him what treat he wanted for having such a good day.  He picked curling up with Momi and having me read his favorite books to him.  He showed up with a huge stack of books, but that was just more fun. 

  
  

  

  
  

  Tucker had a good day at the beach on Saturday.  He couldn't stand it that the seagulls were just standing around doing nothing, so he ran around amongst them and got them up in the air.  I tried to catch some of the frenetic movement but for some reason, he looks almost calm in this shot. 

  
  

  

  
  

  I had planned a really insightful post today about Immanuel Kant's three postulates of morality, but really, wouldn't you rather see pictures of my adorable kids?
