Birthday Buddies

My hubster and baby Greyson are birthday buddies. How ridiculously cute are they when they're together? Greyson is actually the first baby that my hubster and I are not terrified to hold. We've seen how his older brother and sister toss him about, so we figure he's pretty sturdy. He's also the first baby that has wanted us to hold him. For all those reasons, we think he's pretty fantastic. If you're wondering if we have a major case of baby fever, the answer would be, "Yes!"

First But Not Last

This week, I had my first slice of humble pie for the school year handed to me. I've been having amazing literature discussions with the kiddos and watching them successfully complete their math worksheets. I totally went in feeling confident that they were going to do well on their literature and math tests. OMG. How wrong I was. Now, I'm going to spend the next week re-thinking and obsessing over my lesson delivery. How can I get them to transfer their ideas to a starch white paper? How can I get the ideas sticky enough to stick long enough? Perhaps, they're just overloaded with information?

Happy Birthday, Old Man!

I just want to say I love you.
