i've been feeling lousy this week with a mild stomach bug. kids and teachers at my school are dropping like flies, so i just hope it stays with me and doesn't spread to anyone else in the family.
nola moved up to scotty's class this week and LOVES it. it was the first wednesday (neither of us have school on wednesdays) that she was sad about not going to school. she loves counting to 100 on the way to school in the mornings and then by 100's to 1000. it's amazing how much she's learned in the 10 months since her tubes were placed-we're pretty sure that her hearing was so bad for so long that it slowed down a lot of what she was able to comprehend and take in.
zane and i (mostly zane) are tutoring for math mcas at my school two days a week. we're hoping that him getting into the school, meeting teachers, working with the kids and impressing the principal will go a long way towards him maybe landing a job in the district next year. fingers crossed.
i can't believe avery's almost done with kindergarten. we had her spring conference a couple weeks ago and her teacher was very complimentary on the sweet girl she is. gets along with all the classmates and doesn't get involved with the girl drama. yay! :) i'm still surprised every time she opens a book and reads-she read a bedtime book to nola and i the other night and it was one of the best things we've done in a long time.
marley ran away over a week ago and has yet to return. we're pretty sure she found a new family that thinks she's a puppy to fawn all over her. king hasn't missed a beat, which is a relief, but also maybe speaks to his neurosis ;)
