A Busy Week




Wow, sorry for the lapse in blogging! We have been busy bee's around here. The kids are doing great. They are both getting adjusted to the school schedule. They have to be at school by 7:50, so that means we leave by 7:35. It has been an interesting couple of weeks for Brooke. Last week the teacher said she had the ability to write in mirror image. Not much is known about this, but with Brooke 50% of the time she will start writing from the right to left reversing her letters and the word so they are facing the opposite direction. When she was in preschool the teacher said it was common in kids of that age, because they are still in the learning stage of knowing the alphabet etc. Well, Brooke knows her alphabet and can spell many simple words. They have decided to start her on cursive writing, so it will be harder for her to reverse the direction of the letters and words. On Friday she said she wanted to read a book, she sat down and taught herself to read. She is enjoying being able to read, it so fun to see the excitement in her face when she reads a new book!
Well, a couple recent pictures of Billy and Brooke. Love to all!
