Three R's

I am pretty sure that Joshua is kind of reading. He told a woman today that her camera bag had the same word that is on his television. Yep. Both are Sony. He recognized the letters as the same! He is a smart boy.

I am getting the idea that Samantha is smart. Okay, I have always known she is smart, but now I am getting the idea she is very, very smart. Her doctor told me that sam is smart, and I shrugged and said, yes. She said, no, Amy, she is really smart. Now this doctor is not new to the field. She has seem many, many children and I doubt she tells all the mothers that their children are really smart.

The other clue was our teachers conference. Matt tells this better than I do, so if he posts, feel free to delete out this part, but it is too fun to take a chance that he won't write. We were talking about homework,

Mrs. Trottier: Yes, Homework should take about 45 minutes.

Matt, yeah, that is about right, 45 minutes a week.

Mrs. Trottier, starteld look, well no, 45 minutes a night!

We all sit and look at each other for a minute and then start discussing ways to get Sam's work to add up to at least a half hour a day. I am rooting for an observational experiment on the bird feeder, recording what happens at the feeder. May work for her, or not. I am sure she will have some ideas. Or she could write reviews of her smoothies, what makes a good smoothie and what doesn't work. Cooking is a science, after all!
