2nd Grade

What a handsome 2nd grade boy I have! This year I wanted a good, tough, fun teacher for Carson that would give him some homework and keep his attention. I specifically wrote that on my comments when registering him. Finally I hope I got what we wanted. His teacher is a seasoned 32 yr teacher. Yes, finally someone who already has a schedule, and agenda. The last two years I've felt like we were just going through the motions and not really learning much. Now I feel like we will be challenged. Carson needs challenge! It keeps him out of trouble by keeping his mind busy.

Overall, Carson has done ok with the change and the big move. I didn't really know how he would react because he's older now and more aware of what is going on. Selling Macy (their puppy and favorite Christmas present) was harder on Carson than I thought. He truly loved her and still talks about her all the time. In moving, things are always misplaced and having my purse stolen in the midst of moving threw Carson off bigtime. Many of his pokemon cards were in there among who know what else. He has broke down a couple of times, sobbing on my shoulder about how "none of this would've happened if we didn't move." It breaks my heart to hear him be so sad.
But, things are getting better, he is playing soccer (his new thing at recess, because their is no pacers) with all the boys. He is trying to make friends and he will find that one good buddy soon...I hope.



First year to ride the bus! He felt to special and so cool!
