Santa

Guess who we saw at the mall last weekend? D was a bit nervous as she had a video from Santa telling her she really needed to work on that temper, but I whispered in her ear, "Do you think he MIGHT tell you that he knows you have been working extra hard, so you're real close to getting that Rapunzel dress?" her eyes got big and the nerves were gone. And truly she has been working very hard, some days she's even got it. LOL. Little by little, step by step. The temper is really the last hurtle we need to get over. Other than that, she really is doing great:)

J is less than one point away from her next Rising Reader level already. She has two books to take in tomorrow if she tests well on those then she will be working toward her next goal of Rising Reader 4. She continues to amaze. Her teacher loves her, she loves her teacher and she is absolutely thriving this year. She can't seem to learn fast enough for her own satisfaction. The book she read to me tonight was well into a 3rd grade level, I'm nervous about her testing on it actually but it was about her current favorite animal, the Panda, so she may very well surprise me again.
