Turns out I knew what I was talking about when I wrote this post on the first day of school. This year has been a whirlwind...and I'm still hanging on for dear life. Bug has her license, although it is still in the graduated stage of having another adult driver in the car with her. I'm nervous about her driving by herself this summer, but I'm also ready for the break it will give me. Issy has aced her classes so far...and she's bored in some of them. Moving her up just isn't an option, so it's off to talk to the principal soon. Have to find some way to challenge her. Monster has found the key, and has realized that he can read. It's funny how excited I am about this. He is literally reading on his own in the car, reading signs, words on tv. His teacher asked for a conference last week just to tell us "wow! Whatever you are doing, keep it up!" I can't stress how big a break through this was for us...and what a load off my stress level it has been. We went from knowing less than 30 words to reading 92 words in a minute in 8 months.
Now we're in the "busy season" of the school year. Concerts, award ceremonies, etc will fill the schedule when there is blank time left from soccer, martial arts, and all those fun events. But then it will be over, and I will suddenly have a senior!!!!!
