She’s healthy!

Arthur has been getting some extra time with his great teacher Jaci after school twice a week. It’s been so valuable for him. His class, like most public school classes, is way too big. He’s gained confidence and gotten much more work done with the smaller amount of kids after school.

Ms. Jen has taught Arthur, Lewis and now Bailey and Netta in Willow preschool. They make some pretty fun creative stuff, including this telephone pole monster. AHHHH!

The other day we were all in the backyard playing except for Netta. She was inside doing something, nobody really knew. And then out she walked with ‘ice skates’ strapped to her feet and a cape to her back. She carefully taped strips of foam stuff to her feet and waddled outside with a great deal of pride. They didn’t last long but they were inspirational while they lasted. Behold, Netta’s Ice Skates!

An hour will pass and we’ll wonder, “Where’s Lewis?” We nearly always find him queitly working away in his ‘Lego room’, the closet in his and Art’s bedroom. Many of the Legos are the same Josh and I played with growing up. He builds dragons, cars, spaceships, all kinds of wonderful things. Jessica, being a generous mama, will go up and ‘play Legos’ with him, just sitting there working on something.

I just love this. He wrote this for a thing at school.
