My boy loves dirt. Dirt. And more dirt. He's looking VERY forward to the return of football season. Sam will eat anything you put in front of him, but his most favorite meal would consist of baked beans, refried beans, and beef jerky. And hot sauce. And ketchup. He's happiest when he is outside, but lately he's taken to operating his computer and playing computer games. We've had to limit his computer time, and we've had to make sure that all of his computer time is constructive and educational. He's such a sweetie, a monkey, and a bully. Lord help us all!
School:
Did I say Lord help us all? Because we're gonna need it. He's doing much better with his reading, but his grades continue to be a struggle. He's a hard worker, and he means to do well. However, his teachers say that he's frequently daydreaming about building bridges and forts, and he isn't always on task. In short, he's 110% boy, I'm afraid. Luckily, his struggles in school haven't turned him off from formal education altogether, but we're always encouraging and telling him that he can do it. He's a very good math student, and we try to encourage that route in particular. Well, there's always 4th grade, right? Sam wishes 4th grade didn't exist. Speaking of, 4th grade will be his last year of elementary and then off to middle school he goes. How is that POSSIBLE??
