Stories from the Boys

The night before last I was reading an Alphabet Book with Joshua. As we were going page by page he would try and say a word for each letter. We got to "G" and Joshua said "like Ganote". When we got to "J" he said "like for Joshua". I agreed and said "Yes, your name is Joshua Ganote". I asked him if he knew what his middle name was - and without hesitation he said "Boo". I did laugh. I am not sure he believed me when I told him his middle name is really Edwin.

We got the 1st semester papers home from Jacob with his participation in TAG. He is doing really well. The only thing he needs to improve upon is speaking more in class and sharing his ideas more during discussion. One of the papers he brought home was a little story on what he would be like and be able to do when he was 25 years old. It said some typical things, like he would be living in New York City, he would be able to drive, and he would be able to "burp the ABC's". To which his teacher circled and wrote "Inappropriate". Yes - Matthew and I laughed when we read about the lofty goals of our oldest son.
