Good Morning Division 2,
How are you all doing? Believe it or not, as fun as
it is being home with my crazy boys, I miss seeing you. Grade sevens, I hope
you are doing well and staying focused despite high school articulation and
placements. I'm going to have to talk to Mrs. Soper to find out who is going
where next year.
Grade sixes, I feel like I was just getting to know you
when I left. Sorry I was there for such a short time! I'm glad we got some time
together so I at least know who you are when you are (hopefully) back in
division 2 again next year. Just a heads up... I'm already excited to teach
science next year!
As for me, the boys and I are doing well. Joseph is,
so far, a lovely and fairly mellow little guy (which is a definite bonus when I
have crazy Henry here already!). He's generally happy to sit in his bouncy chair
and watch things around him. He likes to sleep (and I love that!). Joseph is
currently about 16.5 pounds which may not seem like a lot but it's more than
double what he weighed when he was born (now imagine if you had doubled your
weight in the last 3 months!). He's quite a gloriously chunky guy with
particularly roly-poly legs. He is starting to "chat", loves to smile, and is
just figuring out how to laugh and how to grab things. Tonight he was quite
proud of himself for grabbing a blanket that was on him and being able to chew
on it a bit. He also seems to want to be a thumb/finger sucker but he can't
quite get it together yet. He's got a long way to go before he can grab
purposefully and with any accuracy but he is trying hard. He has also started
to notice toys as you can see in the photo where he is staring at the yellow bug
toy. He and I went for a walk and I put the toy on his stroller. I don't think
he looked at anything else. Apparently the toy and the fresh air wore him out
though.
My days are busy with Lego (why is it that little boys seem to
feel they need to take all the people apart?? I spent a morning just locating
body parts and attempting to reunite them with each other), gymnastics, walks,
bike rides, and preschool. It's a lot of fun but so different from working with
you all. I miss our conversations and, to be honest, I miss math classes (how
crazy does THAT sound?!).
I would love to come and visit but we've all had
nasty colds which we are working on getting over and I'm hesitant to come there
at the risk of picking up a different bug. My dad isn't well right now and I
can't go spend time with him if the boys and I are sick. I hope you understand.
I just wanted you to know I'm thinking about you and hope you are well.
Thanks,
Miss Kelly
