This has been a busy week for us, in that tiny, make-work busyness that can get under my skin. Our state’s school year begins on July 1 (that is, as surreal as it seems, next Tuesday) after which I will be Officially Responsible for Officially Homeschooling JediBoy for the very first time. There has been paperwork to put together and planning, in the sense that I plan, which is not nearly what I read many of you are doing! But I have been checking our library catalog to see what additional reading materials I can find for Story of the World, and that sort of thing.
Tuesday JediBoy had his 6 year check-up, at which they pronounced him healthy, growing, and “articulate.” I had to laugh. When I was in public school and we got evaluations on our report cards, there were certain words that followed you throughout your time there - you could count on the teachers always calling me “polite” and my friend “assertive.” At every single physical he’s had from 1 year on up, the nurses and doctors have given us “articulate” and “remarkably verbal for his age.”
BabyGirl has been given “muscular” - plus, of course, her foster family answered the question, “How would you describe her temperament?” with “demanding,” so we have a long road ahead of us!
We’ve also been sharing a cold this week, working on reorganizing the bookshelves, getting my dress fitted for Aunt R and Uncle J’s wedding and making the Lego Lab on Monday. It has been one of those weeks that just slipped away, and here we are on Thursday morning.
