Another school year is in the books. How can it be that Thomas is finished with second grade already? He had some growing pains in second grade. He learned how to get out of tests (faking a stomach ache) and learned to challenge himself with harder books to read. I don't even know how many inches he grew, but I do know that we went through shoes like you wouldn't believe. I think we bought a pair every other month for the whole year! No kidding! And each time we went to the shoe store he was a bigger shoe size. The boys is growing! We absolutely loved his teacher and wished she would take the group up to third grade, but that didn't happen.
Nathan had a very successful year in his class. He learned to write his name, spell everyone's name in his class and shows more interest in writing and learning to read. He is still very active and ALL boy! It amazed us as he learned to climb the monkey bars independently but when he learned to ride his bike with no training wheels....well, we're still speechless. He wants to play every sport known to man and we know he'll succeed with any sport!
As a special way to end the year, we always get the boys a special reward. This year we kept it simple by starting off summer with new "Life is Good" t-shirts. The boys were happy to have another "Jake shirt" in their closet.
It was a great year for the boys and we know that next year will be another successful one as Thomas will be in third grade and Nathan in VPK!
