There are THREE postings this evening, and in earlier posts (which, ironically, you’ll probably read AFTER you read this one), I promise to provide a general update on activities over the last couple of weeks.
And then I discover that I can’t find the other camera. And what to do? I can either break my promise to post an update, wake someone up and ask where the camera is, or force you to suffer through a no-picture blog posting.
The choice is easy… But I’ll try to make it up to you with this video of Daniel and Rachel describing their pumpkin masterpieces.
For Daniel, it’s all about what’s happening at school, and things have been going really well, both socially and academically. He’s making friends, and seems to be one of the more popular kids. Playing “Star Wars” in the playground unites all of the boys, and recently we’ve started to hear that “girls are stinky”.
He’s had his first set of assessments, and is doing well across the board, but is extremely strong in reading – as his teacher Mr. M says –> he can read anything, but doesn’t always comprehend what he’s read. That’s apparently normal, though, so we’re asking questions along the way to encourage him to think about it.
We’re back in swim lessons, and so far, it’s like something just ‘clicked’, because he’s been extremely focused and strong. I’ll have to get some video, because words alone don’t do it justice.
Halloween is coming. Daniel will be “Captain Rex” from Star Wars. Rachel – well, Rachel deserves a post all onto her own, but I’m going to write it when I’m less sleepy, and hopefully find some pictures. Until then.
Love, ADRE.
