The highlight of this week was my niece’s 1st birthday. The boys adore Miss Bella! (A little too much, sometimes. We often have to ask them to stop kissing the baby! Poor smothered Bella!)
The big school event this week was Caleb’s very first math test! He, um, [mutters unintelligibly]. What? He, um, didn’t pass. Poor kid. I asked him to count how many blue linking cubes I lined up, which he passed. Then I gave him several yellow linking cubes & asked him to make a row like my blue one. He got so caught up in making the row look as neat as mine that he forgot to make it the same length! Somehow, it was harder for me to keep from giving him hints as it was for Jimmy at the same age. Ah, my first experience with treating my children differently in school lessons! (I did succeed, by the way, which is why he ended up not passing this test. Guess it was testing both of us!)
