A day in the life of..

Well, it was a short summer. At least it seemed like it to me. Tyler was actually glad to be going back to school. I think he missed his friends. He got the teacher he wanted and is in class with his best friend Gregory. He has only been back for two weeks, but he is doing so awesome. He has not had his name on the board once and has been earning marbles every day. His teacher I guess has this reward system that they can earn marbles and the marbles fill up a fish bowl. I'm not sure what happens when the bowl gets full but they seems to be trying hard to fill it. He has even earned two in one day before! He gets so happy about it. On the first day of school he got one because there is a new girl in his class and she told them that she was Mexican and Tyler said, "I'm Mexican too!" I guess the teacher thought that deserved one for making her feel like she wasn't different than everyone else. I think the girl was probably wondering what the heck he was talking about!

He's been having a lot of homework every day but most days he finishes it in class or does not give me any grief to get it done. His teacher even told me that he is doing better than everyone in the class on his math time tests. When I told him that he was so proud! He said, "mom, I think I am actually the best student!" I told him I thought so too - but he needed to keep it up. Ever since then he has been gung ho getting all his work done and doing such a good job. He asks me every day if I still think he is the best student!

He's been awesome with Peter lately and Peter cries for his "brrr brrr brrroo" every day when Tyler goes to school. I tell Tyler and he loves it!
