| This past couple
months have been rather uneventful. Teresa is definitely growing up
though. She's starting to talk already. We're watching her
climb up on things she couldn't get up on just a few months ago, and you
can tell she's starting to realize that she's a little sister. She
wants to be included in everything. She gets mad if Greta and Jack
get something she doesn't, and she's already graduated to a big girl seat
(no more booster chair). She's fearless too. She'll climb up
on ANYTHING, and jump off. And she's fiercely independent. She'll tell you right to your
face NO! And you don't even have to ask her a question. She's funny already.
I love it.
Greta and Jack are good. Jack's
speech is slowly getting better. he's still having trouble with some of the
more challenging sounds, but I think he'll be OK. Greta is still
enjoying school. She said yesterday "I have 2 boyfriends, Sammy
and Dillon". Sammy is the boy next door, and Dillon is the
cutie from her
school. Seriously...already? C'mon, you're 5. I'm
not ready.
Maggie told me she went out with the
"cool mom's" the other night. Went out whoopin' it
up. She also said that she
thinks she may be on "the blacklist" with some of the other mom's
because she
stood up for the "Two-Way Immersion Program" at the School Board
meeting last month. I guess the lily-white moms from the north side are worried about all the "Latin influence" in the school, and
were trying to get the program removed. Maggie,
being the well-rounded, multi-cultural mama
that she is, stood up and spoke to the school board (it was on TV and
everything). Looks
like that may have rubbed some women the wrong way. There's an
'Outsiders' feel to the women of the school. The greasers and the 'soches'.
She's been getting some dirty looks from
time to time. I say HURRAH! Stand up and make some
noise. We're going to put Jack in the TWI Program when he's ready
for school. We think it's a good idea to get the boy immersed into another
language early. By the time he's in 5th grade, he'll be 100% fluent
in Spanish. Pretty cool right? So I guess it's been a busy few
months after all. Just nothing worthy of pictures. I wonder if
I can find a picture of Mags on TV. We'll see. Enjoy the few we
have. See you in a bit.... |
