Shameless Bragging Here!

So we had parent teacher conferences for our 2nd grader, Bradley.  He’s very smart - he started proving that at oh, around birth.  I love to go to conferences for Bradley because the teacher always has something great to say about him.  He does great in reading, spelling and math (he comes by this honestly - my hubby and I have been avid readers and both started reading early).  He actually blows my mind as he does addition and subtraction in his head while we drive around on errands. 

So, at conferences this week, we saw the usual outstanding grades.  But in particular, the teacher wanted to show us Bradley’s latest spelling test.  He had gotten all four bonus words right and was amazed that anyone at the age of 7 could get them right.  Here they are:  Archaeologist, Archaeology, Paleontology, Paleontologist.  Hell, I had to get spell checker heated up to be sure *I* was spelling them right.  What an awesome kid!

On a different note, our three year old daughter Emily declared today "Butterfly Day."  She says that tomorrow is "My Little Pony Day."  You should all be prepared for such monumental events…we sure are!

I LOVE it! Although I have to say I'm sure I'll have one of those moments very soon that every parent dreads - trying to help with homework and not knowing the answers or even how to get to something close! :-)



Beth said:

Oooooh, I'm impressed! A good speller! :-D *clap* *clap* *clap* Big hugs for Bradley from me, OK?



Beth said:

And how WAS My Little Pony Day?



Merri said:

Hugs given, Beth. Many!

My Little Pony Day was converted into "Cheerleader Day" when young Emily had to change into her "cheerleader" clothes. I think tomorrow is Pen Day - at least that's what I thought she said. :-)

One of the best things about having little kids...is the pride you feel when they do these things. They grow up too fast!

You're right, Raven. Waaaay too fast. Last I remember, I was cradling them in my arms!
