Second Grade Stud

It's so fun to be Austin's mom. I love when the teachers pull me aside and say how great he is. (Yah, I think so too). He's having a great time in Second grade. He excels in reading & math. He has already passed off 7 of his times table lists (the only student in his class to do so, thus far). He has the highest reading level in his class (no surprise there) and gets to help "tutor" struggling students in his class. He is always thoughtful of the smaller kids on the playground and sticks up for them when bigger kids pick on them or take away their balls.
He even helps with his sisters at home. His new project is helping me teach Savannah to read. He keeps us laughing with his silly sense of humor and dancing moves. If I only get one boy, I'm glad it's Austin!

Hi Nikki! It's so fun to find your blog! I am continually amazed at this amazing web! (We found you through the Wardells.) Anyway, your family is darling! It looks like you guys are doing great! Quinn and I have been reading over your blog and "catching up"! We actually just took a trip to Cali a couple of weeks ago. We should have looked you up! Maybe next time! Well, take care! We'll check back in every now and then! (BTW-I'm sick about the cockroach! I think you handled it very well!)
