Staying Positive

It's been a while since I posted and it's because, well, nothing has been going on. Life has been continuing as it always has. This weekend was spent with Tyler's family, which was a lot of fun but in a big family there is bound to be "issues". I have decided to ignore the negitive of this weekend and stick with the positive. With that being said, I am going to brag!

We went to parent/teacher conference for Britton. Again, we were told what a good student he is and how much the teacher loves to have him in her class. Britton is on a third grade reading level and does very well with math, spelling and writing. At parent/teacher conference the parent and the teacher come up with goals that the student should work on. The goals consist of reading, counting, penmanship etc. Britton's teacher couldn't think of anything that he needed to work on so she told him to write a book. With his creativity she felt he could write and illustrate a book that they will bind and keep in the classroom for other kids to read. He is on page 18 of his book right now. He has titled it Escape of the Saber tooth. When he is done I will post pictures. I am so proud of this boy.....Can you tell?

Another positive thing I have recently learned is that Britton's elementary will be going traditional. No more year round...YEAH!! That will happen this fall.

And to end this post on another positive note. My refrigerator is working.....In case you were wondering.
