I just realized that I forgot to add the date to this page. This happed today, but the picture is from back in November. And yes, I got all teary when I saw them hugging today. Parker saw me and rolled his eyes. He's growing up way, way too fast for my taste.
My parent/teacher conference with Mrs. Lamb is tomorrow. I am anxious to see what she has to say--actually I can pretty much guess. Parker is a lot more outgoing than he was last year but he is still reluctant to answer questions. For some reason he automatically says, "I don't know." when asked questions like, "What number is this?" or "When is your birthday?" I know he knows the answers but just doesn't want to think about it. Does that mean he's lazy, or unmotivated, or just being difficult? I don't know. I know he'll always do fine in school, but I want him to excel. Wow--I sound like I'm going to start pressuring him already. Speaking of smart kids, Jack is finally showing some signs of intelligence. I know that sounds mean, but we wondered about him sometimes. I think the tide might finally be turning. However, I know better than to get my hopes up that we'll have smooth sailing with him from now on. I love them to pieces no matter how smart they are!!!
