School News and More

The other day Grace brought home her second quarter report card.  Once again she scored all S marks in her areas of evaluation.  She also has maintained perfect attendance for the first half of the school year.  Her teacher wrote the she continues to do well and has told me a few times when I have stopped by that Grace is a pleasure to have in class.  Guess sometimes the apple doesn't fall far from the tree!!  She also continues to do well in karate and tumbling and is looking forward to testing for her next belt.

Adam on the other hand can be a handful at times.  He had his three year check up last week.  Of course that was the moment that he chose to shine up his halo.  He sat still, he answered questions - no ridiculous outbursts or fits of excessive energy.  In any case, he's growing well and is ALL boy.  We did however receive word from school that he had to be removed from music class for kicking the instruments.  So how do we combat the aggressiveness - we sign him up for soccer!  Yes I told him what he did was wrong and while he does enjoy the music, his punishment is to not participate in the next session.  Hopefully soccer will tire him out!

Adam's Birthday Party

Of course we had a party for Adam's 3rd birthday.  It was a Cars themed party - complete with our own little version of Radiator Springs.  We invited a few kids from his class to color, pull the pinata strings and freeze dance.  They had a ball and it was the perfect size group for a 3rd birthday (although one kid refused to be in the picture)! 

Happy 3rd Birthday Adam!

Hard to believe it but Adam is 3!  It's been a low key day.  He went to school and shared cupcakes with his friends for afternoon snack.  Then tonight he decided that he wanted to get his hair cut instead of having a special treat for dinner.  After that, we came home and ate.  Once Grace got home from karate we opened his presents and had more cupcakes.  His party is Saturday and he is super excited!!
