It's been a tough but good year. DS entered first grade and we determined that he needed to be in a different school.

After some angst and talking with several good friends who happen to be teachers, we moved DS mid year. It was a bit bumpy in places, but he's so much happier and engaged at school.

I'm grateful that we went ahead and decided on an IQ test at the end of last year. To anyone, he would have looked like a dreamy kid who didn't want to work very hard. We saw that he was was under challenged and bored. Now that he's in a more suitable environment, his mojo has returned full force:)

We made the decision to keep him a bit busier this summer with camps and swim team. He is definitely a kid who needs a balance between structure and free time.
