My sweet Garrett started school today. He was so excited, he loves his class and teacher. He was so thrilled that she had Magic Tree House books. She even let him check one out of her personal library. He went to singing and he sang all the songs to Madison and I. He said he will always choose reading for his center time. I hope that he will be challenged, over the summer he was learning about the Revolutionary War, Pyramids, and Tsunamis. His favorite thing to do is go to wikipedia and search topics and read about them. He wants research guides instead of books he says. He can't get information fast enough. Not only does he read it, he learns it. He will spout off facts weeks after he reads something. I can't forget Madison, she is smart as well. She loves doing letters and writing. Today she wrote her name, Daddy, Elayna, and David (from the No, David! books) a lot. I was getting bored of it but she loved to write. I did not discourage it. She loves to read as well, her reading is memorization which of course is a precursor to reading. She has a handful of books that she loves and has memorized. I love my babies and I am so proud of them. I look forward to the years to come learning and growing but I cherish the time when they are young.
I have a new job offer and I am very much at peace with this job. It is to be an assistant to a 2nd grader. I feel so comfortable with this that I might actually take it. I feel like this little boy needs me and I could help him. Madison would go to school two days a week and go to a dear friend's home the other times. Adam would take off Thursday and Friday so we don't have to pay so much out for care. The reason I tried getting a job was to put ourselves in a better spot financially. I still hate leaving my sweet Madison but she is really excited to be with our friend. She called Grammy and told her even! I just hope I always have enough energy to make my children my focus and my top priority and not less stress and tiredness get to me. If I accept I will start on Monday.

I didn't know you have a blog! I love it. Thanks so much for the compliments but I do have good boys and that makes it pretty easy for me (though we have moments). Congrats on your new job -- it'll be nice to be at the school where Garrett is and PLEASE let me help with Madison when you are in a bind. Remember how much I love that girl!
I do remember how much you love her because she loves you that much back. I will definately let you help with Madison, she will be tossed between daddy, Presbyterian, and Mary Ellen. All to escape "daycare". Mary Ellen is our lifesaver. But we will give her a break and let you have a little fun with sweet Madison.
I am so glad that things worked out and you feel at ease. It sounds as if things really worked out for the best.
Garrett is such a super-star! Good for him for being such an avid learner and kudos to you for facilitating him! Both of your children are so sweet and bright. You have a wonderful family.
