Most Improved Student - Way to go Drew!

So proud of Drew for being chosen as the most improved student in his Kindergarten class. I have to confess that I felt very guilty because he apparently wasn't adequately prepared, and I felt that I hadn't done my job as a good mom. It's not that I didn't try to get him to read and write while he was younger, ... it's just that he wasn't interested. No worries though ... I just worked with Drew a little more and in no time he caught up and actually surpassed a lot of the kids in his class. I'm so happy that he loves school, his teacher and classmates .... he's a bright, happy, kind little boy and I love him so.

Silly Bandz ... why didn't I think of it??

They're all the craze up and down the East coast ... they certainly are in my house. It all started with Jess, in her 8th grade class - but it soon caught on and now Sean and Drew can't seem to accumulate enough of them. We've bought all kinds, ... rock band themes (guitars, microphones, drums), animals, stars, the alphabet. My kids stack them up their arms and trade them at school. Drew claims that in his Kindergarten class his teacher told the students that they can wear their Silly Bandz to school, but they can't take them off their wrists. Apparently, they're a rubbery, colorful distraction!
