I tend to blog more on my youngest two because i am home with them all day, so today i am going to blog on my oldest. Trey is growing up WAY too fast. He is enjoying 3rd grade. He pretty much loves all subjects except for math. He takes after his mother in this area unfortunately! He has been going to math club twice a week for quite a while now-he has pulled his math grade up, but still struggles. It is very frustrating for all involved, i try to be very patient because i completely understand how he feels when he says "i just don't get it"! We are doing math homework online each night now preparing them for the state assessments coming up soon.
Each day after school he beats it in the house and goes in his room, shuts the door and the sound effects begin. He has always been one to play well by himself from the time he was very young. He could entertain himself for hours with no tv (not the case with our others:)
Every evening he has the same routine before bed-he has to read for 15 minutes as school homework and then he reviews his flash cards. He is very good about doing this every night.
He is getting an allowance now for helping do several chores and has been saving for almost a month now to buy... yet another transformer. He lines them all nicely up on his headboard the other day and assured me that there was "room for another one".
He draws ALL the time- i keep a pack of copy paper handy all of the time for all of their drawings. He likes to explain every detail of his drawing to you.
He talks NONSTOP! Hmm who does he take after in that area??? I have to tell him quite often "ok Trey you have to stop talking for 2 minutes so that mommy can think for a minute". This is most often while i am grocery shopping or something of the sort and he is describing to me how this or that transformer works or asking which one is my favorite?????
He has not gotten strep throat since getting his tonsils out last spring. He went from having recurrent strep infections to not at all, so i am so glad we went through with it!
Well that's just a little of what our 9 year old is up to these days.
