    More funny than braggy:

    DS2 woke up in the middle of my history class(long story about babysitters skipped), announced loudly that "there's a lot of planets outside," and went back to sleep.

    The prof said "yes, indeed" and went back to teaching dead languages.

    (Can we have a "funny stories I just can't tell everyone" thread, most of mine aren't really brags, just cute kid stories with one wierd element that makes them a bit less tellable.)


    DS1: Hon, you already finished your homework
    DS2: Quit it with the protesting already!

    The top line he traced. �The second red line he copied while I coached him using HWT words.�

    This he did on his own. �He just recently learned how to write # 5.

    I'm not sure if I showed you the astronaut yet. �We're working our way through a how to draw book. �The print letters I can just just tell him and he'll write them, he already knows how.

    [Linked Image from i945.photobucket.com]

    So, not a huge brag I guess since he's following instructions, but I'm a very proud Mamma. �He was 3.5 last month.

    I want to share another cute brag. � I noticed a while back that ds always creates a mixture between the words "empty" and "nothing" whenever he has a reason to use either of these words. �"nenmpty", "numpthing", "nempting", "netty", that's all I can think of. �He knows about the number zero. �It is obvious to dh and me that he is doing this intentionally. �For one thing he uses variations. �When he misunderstands a word he mispronounces it the same way each time.�

    With our first year of crazy skipping in (5 years)DS8 presented his report card to me. As a part time student he got a B in Language Arts, a B in geometry and a C in integrated science. All three of his teachers commented that the quality of his work was an A, organization....not so much, which pulled his grades down. I'm so proud!!! I can't believe this crazy idea actually worked! My son loves it and is already planning for next year!
    YAY for our side!
