So school started and my weekly updates were thrown out the window. Being a teacher and a mom to three kiddos is crazy! Fortunately, I have help! We wouldn't have survived last week if it wasn't for Dale cooking, packing lunches, cleaning the house, and watching Quinn! Dale is headed to Spokane next week for his sisters wedding which will leave me single parenting for 4 days. I am sure we will survive but we will miss him!
Kannon started Kindergarten and Clark is in PreK. Both of them LOOOOVE their new school. Even though they are busy each night with homework and projects, they love their new teachers and friends. Kannon has introduced himself to everyone as "Cobra" because his love of snakes his extreme. Clark is melting the hearts of all with his expansive vocabulary and dramatic attitude.
Quinn is 2 months old. He is still the perfect baby! He wakes up once a night to eat and sleeps extremely well by our bedside in a rocker. He smiles, coos, grabs things, and loves his big brothers. He is cloth diapered like his big brothers and is already growing out of his 3 month clothes. This boy weighs in at 12.5 lbs and 23 inches long. He is in the 55th percentile for weight and length and 91 percentile for his head (big brain, I'm sure!). After spending hours on the phone with insurance this week to resolve a glitch that left him uninsured, we were finally able to take him to the doctor. The nurses and pedi all swooned over his chunky little rolls. Quinn only cried a few minutes after his shots (he got 4) and continued to smile away!
School is going well. I LOVE my 2nd graders. I teach two groups in reading and writing. I love being able to focus on just reading and writing. It makes my job much more enjoyable and my students benefit from targeted instruction. My kiddos are a dream, although I sometimes miss the grit my old students had. My partner teacher is amazing and I am so lucky to have been paired with her because we practically share the same brain.
Overall, life with the kids is amazing! I love these little buggers....all 47 of them (2nd graders + my boys!)
