DS3 sang in public!
It was a rather inappropriate thing with five verses and no choruses, which he particularly likes when I sing it, which I do a lot because it has just the right rythm to get his little brother to sleep. It was ammusing to note that he mumbled the same words I usually mumble when singing it in public... because it's rather inappropriate. Anyway. He did it rather well, even grabbed his turn rather ellegantly. The turn-grabbing shouldn't really surprise me, since one of our ongoing problems is that he refuses to really admit that being a kid should interfear with being taken as seriously in an adult situation as an adult. But anyway.
He sang a whole song! In public! OMG, my BABY, he's growing UP!!!!! Eeek!

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

I used to do a deal with my 12 year-old when he was that age: I would do his math homework (faked his writing) and in exchange, he would do his algebra. LOL!!! Oh that's brilliant!! I'm going to remember that one  (Seriously. I can fake handwriting, lol)

Awesome!! He plays beautifully!! May I ask - what is his practice schedule and how long has he been playing? In my kids' piano recital group there are no children your son's age who can play like he can

My dd6 has been saying every day for about a week that she "can't wait!" for school to start! She's in an HGT program with the same teacher her DYS10 brother had in 1st grade, so she already knows the teacher. I'm so excited and happy for her that she's ready to go. (And I'm so excited for me, that someone else will help address her insatiable need to learn that's sparked by virtually every new experience she has.)

DS is only in his second week of preschool, so I'm wary, but he seems to be enjoying it. His teacher appears smitten, which is good. It helps that he is extremely cute (I'm not just saying this; he is rather cherubic) and has a sweet personality. Anyway, she told me today that he always knows all the answers to everything and that she has to tell him to let the other kids have a chance, but she said this in a doting way, not negatively. She also has discovered that he can read, thusly:
Teacher, holding up book: What do you think this book might be about?
DS: Well, it's called ___________, so....

We just found out that they're letting DD into Geometry this year! This is after a year of homeschooling algebra and multiple rounds of testing at the end of last school year to see if she qualified for the class. They finally got the results from the state Algebra exam and she's in! Not bad for a 6th grader

Hurray!!! May she love every moment, Trillium. ultramarina; that is hilarious. Logical, of course-- and hilarious.

The day my lo turned 20 months she put her first 4 pc jigsaw puzzle together. For a straight week she had me helping her 15-30 times a day. She worked so hard! She'll be 21 months in a few days and she can do her 4 pc, 6pc, and 9 pc jigsaws without help- and 12 pc ones with a little help. She is getting good at figuring out her 24 pc with my help, too. *proud*

Did some browsing just now on Scholastic.com looking for reading levels of books DS8 has read. At age 7, grade 2, he was reading at about grade 4.1 - 4.5 level, and he has a language processing disorder and ADHD. Yay DS!!
