Sorry...
Sorry it's been awhile. Things have been crazy. I have a whole bunch of pictures to post, but in brief..
Tyler has been struggling somewhat in school. Everyone says that 3rd grade is a big adjustment from 2nd so I guess he is just dealing with that. This is the first year that he gets letter grades and he even got an F on one of his papers!! How was that for a shock?! He just got his report card and he got 3 A's and 2 B's. I was pretty happy with that. It's not that anything he is doing is even hard for him, he just likes to rush through things and answer questions without reading them and things like that. I have to remind him constantly to pay attention. He is still super bright and cheerful. He is still loving and sweet. I had a parent teacher conference with his teacher and she told me that he is so sweet and even is making an attempt to be friends with a child that no one else will be friends with. She said that Tyler tries to invite him into games they are all playing and even encourages him to do his homework! I guess the boy is pretty bad but she said that Tyler tries to encourage him to do the right thing. The only problem we have is that the other day he didn't do his homework and Tyler did not want him to get in trouble so he gave him all the answers!! Of course the teacher caught them and told them they could not do that.
He's not playing any sports right now, but I need to get him in something soon. He plays outside a lot and practically takes his bat everywhere he goes. He has been dying to play baseball.
I think he is so over my being pregnant, he used to like the count down and now he just seems annoyed. One quick story..
For Halloween we were trick or treating - Tyler the police swat guy and me as his prisoner and he had his heely's on so he was going really fast and was way ahead of me. At one point I noticed he had a long face and i asked him what was wrong:
T: I fell and you didn't even know!!
R: Well, I'm sorry I didn't see you - are you OK?
T: You didn't see me because you were walking so slow with that big huge belly!!
Nice.
I think he is just ready for this baby to come. He is super sweet about the baby things and the baby so I can't wait to see what a great big brother he will be.
