Brett's 1st Report Card

I am going to be one of those mom's who totally brags about their children! I wouldnt have it any other way. Brett got his first report card and had his first parent teacher conference last week. I was absolutely dreading the meeting. Yes, this makes me a horrible person but Brett has not had the best track record in day care so I sort of assumed it would carry over to kindergarten. Anyway let me just eat my thoughts! Brett got the best report card. It was straight 4's. (which is my book is straight A's) this included showing respect, taking responsbility , self control, etc. The teacher had nothing but good to say about him.

So let me just say what a wonderful awesome boy he is!!!! We sill have our challenges but Brett is growing up so much right now. Its fun to see.

So that was my brag for the day, but I am sure I will have more. Other than awesome grades we are still all trying to get over being sick. Caleb still has a horrible cough, I have sinus pain, justin is coughing and Brett just looks pale. We are all back to work and school but I think we could really use a long weekend to recover.
