Monty will go to first grade, God help his poor teacher. On the upside, there will only be eight kids in his class, so hopefully this will work in the benefit of both teacher and Monty. It's hard to say at this point what will happen. Monty can do most things just fine, but gets himself all worked up when he doesn't remember how to do something and at times completely flips out. He'll be in my prayers.
Stoney will go to third grade. He has an excellent rapport card, with a 97% for math - the math genes most have skipped a generation - but strangely enough he doesn't like math at all. He is not interested in it and takes forever and a day to complete his school and homework. We had almost hoped that he had ADD, because at least it would be an explanation as to why he uses his pen as a space ship rather then doing the math, but no dice. They tested him, but he doesn't have it. Oh well, hopefully he'll grow out of it. I guess it is mostly a matter of him enjoying playing much more then working. And with playing i also mean climbing.
Another thing that doesn't help matters when it comes to concentrating on schoolwork, is that both these kids will not go to sleep at night. We blame Day Light Savings time, but even without that we'd be in trouble i guess. It gets dark so stinking late here (sun doesn't set till ten) and these kids just won't go to sleep as long as it is light out.
The other day we went to check on the boys (at 11, when they are finally asleep) and found this in his bed. He build an entire zoo in his bed (mom, it is a saloon, duh!) and then curled up to the far end to find a place to sleep. Crazy child.
