Birthdays are complicated when you’re turning five
Maks’ birhday party is becoming more political than I first anticipated. We went ahead and invited his entire class and a select few from his previous class. Our reasoning behind this was because he hasn’t been in his new room for very long, he really doesn’t have many close friends in there yet. We were [...]
Homeschooling
Have you met Mo? I think she is pretty awesome. The more I read about her homeschooling, the more I want to homeschool. I just don’t think I am disciplined enough to do it. I am a huge believer in academia. And I have always said that I would push my boys as much as [...]

Off to meet the teacher
I had Maks’ parent / teacher interview yesterday. It went pretty well. Her comments didn’t come as a surprise, as we speak almost every day about Maks anyway. Maks is adapting well to the transition curriculum from junior kindergarten to senior kindergarten. He has a penchant for numbers and math, that I know he didn’t [...]

Maks’ Report Card
Maks’ got his report card last week. I hate getting Maks’ report card. I am always worried that I am doing something wrong and the report card just points out how bad of a mom I am. Maks’ teacher prefaced handing me the report card by saying that Maks has gone through a crazy change [...]
