Report Cards

I can't believe that we are almost at the end of November and that December fast approaching. Soon the Christmas tree will go up and the Big Guy will be making his yearly visit. Around this time the first report cards come out and I cross my fingers and hope that the kids are doing well in school.

Last night we went to the school to see what the kids have been doing these past few months. Bella, who usually is not shy, shut right down. Dwayne and I had to force her to show us what she does everyday at school. Even the teacher was a little surprised by the way she was acting. In the end she is adjusting well and her report card held no surprises. Bailey, of course, is excelling in everything that she touches. She came home with 5 A's and 3 B's. We are very proud of her. When it came to Riley's turn, Dwayne and I were a little worried. Some of the tests he has been bringing home weren't the best. He really has a hard time slowing down and his teacher even verbalized that when we sat down with her. She told us that if he took his time, he would excel. When we got his report card, we almost fainted. Though it wasn't all A's, (only 2 in Health and Music) it was a really good report. He can bring those B's up to A's in no time. So overall the kids are doing wonderful and the anxiety I have over how they are doing in school was put to rest.
