The First D

Riley earned his first D this week. I knew this day was coming, I just didn't think it would have been this early in his education. He's only in grade 4. And to top things off it wasn't Riley who told me about his D, it was his teacher. Ouch for him and a shock for me. He had an opportunity to redo the test today and he decided that he didn't want to. So looks like Monday the teacher, Riley, and I will be sitting down and having a little chat. He is so capable of bringing home B's. He just gets lazy about it and doesn't try hard. Well that's about to change. Ahh the joys of motherhood. Sometimes I wish he was 3 again. It seems the older they get, the harder things are.

Bella came up with a new word the other day. We were driving and I was snapping my gum. Bella said I must have been a Championese Gum Snapper when I was a kid because I'm so good at it. She was trying to say champion but kept messing up. I thought it was pretty cute.
