Luke and I just attended our first parent-teacher conference. It made us feel all warm and fuzzy, like we're doing our job as parents. Or, it could be that Emmeline is just a great kid. She is aparently the most well-behaved, academically advanced kindergartener. Aw, I'm blushing! Her adorable teacher told us that she had to make a deal with Emmeline that when the class is doing flashcards, Emmeline has to count to three before she is allowed to say the answer. So cute. Emmeline will also be receiving an award for math excellence at an assembly next week. We are so proud! (Are the grandparents carrying on the tradition of sending money for good report cards?)
It is interesting, though, I wonder if, in another part of the country, Emmeline would be quite as "advanced." She has a certain advantage here, being a native English speaker. The first trimester goals for kidergarteners are realistically within Joshua's reach, so it's all relative....
In other news, Joshua is amazing us with his death defying scooter stunts, and Benjamin is amazing us with a language explosion (yay, the end of screaming is within our reach!). We have great kids!

Absolutely!
Way to go Emj! I bet she'd be at the top no matter where you lived!
I am not sure who the above anonymous is... but it rings of a maternal grandmother. Regardless of whomever it might be, the referenced child's father probably would not want to see the reward of accomplishment, and the attending grade,be minimized by the things of "Caesar". Hence,I for one will have to postpone any immediate indulgence of the child's mother begging for funds.
We must follow the traditions of the (beggar's) father! Indulge away, Grandma!
Even holy writ suggests that some traditions of the father's need not be unnecessarily maintained. However, if such tradition is to be continued, we hope for the sake of the recipient that only pictures of Benjamin Franklin be dispersed. Additionally,and luckily, as this appears to potentially be filthy lucre, at least, there is no tithing on such.
