The drama with N's teacher eventually came to a head and we decided that we had to do something. Knowing that N is exceptionally bright (yes, that's a shameless brag there :P) we decided to have her tested for third grade. She passed with flying colors (and a six+ grade reading level!) and her life as a second grader came to an end after only two weeks. She's been happy in her new class and still pulling As :)
N's doing well at her meets but while her floor and beam routine look great, her bars are not as spectacular as they once were. Hopefully she can get some of her mojo back there.
J1 is working a lot and hopefully staying out of trouble. He got into a car accident a few weeks ago and his head went through the side window. The people he was with were drag-racing while drunk. I can't believe how unbelievably stupid he can be sometimes and still manage to survive.
J2 decided in early September that he no longer wanted to be homeschooled. It was with great reluctance that I allowed him to go back to public school. You see, he's always had a difficult time around people. He can't seem to focus on anything and tends to stare at the paint on the walls. But he really wanted to do this and I know a diploma from an accredited high school is worth more than what I can give him being homeschooled. The first couple weeks were okay. Since then he's been floundering and I'm desperately hoping he can pull up his two Fs in Algebra and Chemistry. How can I have one kid who skips a grade and another two (the boys, of course) who can't seem to get it together?!
Nothing new to report with C. Only that her hair is growing back and she almost looks like her haircut was intentional.
