Speaking of conferences, Maddox's went really well! It makes me tear up to even think about how proud I am of him and his accomplishments and just how incredibly smart this kid is. His desire to learn just amazes me everyday. He also is very priviledged to go to such a great performance school - the fact that Maddox comes home telling me all the things he learned in Spanish is just so cool to me. When you hear about all these budget cuts, etc. and your school is doing a fundraiser to raise money for a Spanish teacher for the following year, it just makes you appreciate where your child is.
We are also very proud of the little one too! I think the biggest thing right now is he has learned to say his "L's". He's not perfect with it by any means and is still accustomed to saying, "I wuv you" - but we have been working hard at mastering this sound and the correct "L" sound can actually make its way out of his little mouth. Oh, the little things that excite us! He has been doing swimming lessons the past month and is officially a little swimmer with NO floaties. I knew he'd take to it b/c he is certainly not afraid of the water, but I never expected him to be swimming almost immediately upon getting in the water the first day. When I saw him doing it that day, it was all I could do to not burst out into tears. This feeling came over me and I just got so warm and fuzzy inside. This rambunctious 3 yr old can actually stay still and be quiet long enough to float on his back from one side of the "deep pool" as he calls it to the other. I'm thinking the more swimming the better...for all of us! Haha!
