Braggin'

I meant to do this on my previous post, but I got a little side-tracked. We have now made it through nine weeks of school and I am totally and completely amazed at the things Tug is learning in kindergarten. He is learning way more than I ever did at that age I know. He is READING for crying out loud. He brings a reading folder home once every 7 to 10 days. It's amazing. He is writing sentences, doing math. They really keep these kids hopping. I mean, I know I work in education, but I really don't know what goes on in the elementary realm. It's like a different world. It's kind of sad, T and I thought we had a least one more year of the "spelling game." Not so much.
I'll say, "T, I am going to take a b-a-t-h." (Every mommy wants to get 30 minutes of uninterrupted time every once in awhile.) Well
Tug says, "That spells bath." What in the world???? And I could go on from here, but you get the point.

On a sadder note for Tug.....as we all know...Halloween is only hours away. Nor-nor has a "party" at daycare whereas Tug didn't really have a 'party.' A little disappointing for him the poor guy. This goes back to his first few days of kindergarten when he said, "There aren't that many toys to play with." Oh the angst of childhood.
