First Crush

Oh, my cute little DB. Today when he got home I was asking my usual questions, you know, best part of your day, worst part of your day kind of stuff. In his recollection of his day, music was his best part (as ususal) and this time he mentioned that Mr. Arnold, the music teacher would not be at school tomorrow. He is ABSOLUTELY THRILLED because that means that Ms. Green will be his music teacher and "mom, she is beautiful." Then we go to the PTO open house, and as we walk in, he immediately starts looking for Ms. Green, and is all too thrilled to show me who she is. Seriously, the kid wouldn't be able to find his ears if they weren't attached to his head, but he was able to pick her out of a group of 50 teachers! He couldn't take his eyes off of her, it was so dang cute!

I got a chance to talk to his teacher, and she told me how well he has been doing lately, and she is proud of his progress. She says he is more behaved than I make him out to be, so I need to give him a little slack. I think DB may have to deal with this his whole life---a mom that always wants just a little bit more (Ben can attest to that little bit of my personality) but I definitely need to work on that.

He is a rock star at spelling, this week the words he is struggling with is sink and they, but we are getting there.....and I can't believe how well he is reading. It is truly amazing to watch these guys learn so much in just a day! Why can't I do that?

So cute. I am glad he is doing so well, but I wasn't worried. And it is ok to push our kids to do their best! :) And I don't see and hyperlinks.
