Update Part 2

I realize that my update yesterday was more about me and less about the kids, which really is what this blog is supposed to be all about. I think I shall create a separate blog to discuss my own perspectives on things so that this can remain focused on the kids.....of course it would likely take several blogs to cover my perspective on things, but I will keep it to just one. Stay tuned for that....I'll update the details of that blog once I get around to creating it.

As far as the kids are concerned, lots has been happening. Probably the most notable is the fact that one of the twins has lost their first tooth. Which twin you ask? None other than my first born and only son, Brody. This happened back in the middle of January....he was complaining of having tooth pain. Upon further investigation, we discovered that he in fact had a loose tooth. Now, those of you who know me, know that I don't handle those types of things well for many, many reasons. Mainly 1- because it's just gross and 2- it means that my baby boy is really no longer my baby boy, and serves as a reminder on how fast time really flies and how quickly life passes you by. To top off the loss of the first tooth, when we went to the dentist for a check-up, the dentist informed me that Brody had all of his 6-year molars. That's GREAT you might say.....well actually not really becuase HE'S ONLY 5!!!!! To make me feel better, the dentist told me he had the mouth of a 7 or 8 year old and would likely be shaving by age 10 or 11.....good grief, I don't know how I am going to handle that, and have to say that did not make me feel any better.

They are both learning so much and are doing so well in school. Both had high achievement scores on their testing, and are doing well with Spanish, Math, Reading, and Writing....I have to say, I am one proud mama and am going to have to work very hard not to be an obnoxious one.

Both have begun to read the easy readers, and now bedtime consists of me reading a story to them and then they read one to me. Although, last night as I was reading to Caroline, she had the suggestion of me reading the "hard words" and she could read all of the sight words...

We are in the home stretch of our experience in Pre-K, and are on the quest for where to send the twins to Kindergarten, which I guess will be decided once we figure out where we're going to land-SEE previous post.
