We started school on Aug.11th. Izabelle and Joseph are loving it. Josephs new teacher doesn’t give much homework so that has been a nice change from last year. He has to read each day and so he just spends extra time reading. He is required to read 20 min., and so far he reads for about an hour a day. Izabelle is enjoying her new friends and I hear about Isabelle and Victoria all the time. Isn’t it odd that there is another Izabelle in her class. Her teacher calls her Belle to keep them straight. I call her Belle most of the time too.
We just finished reading James and the Giant Peach! One of our favorite parts was when the centipede got covered with purple rainbow paint.
Yesterday Joseph and Izabelle lost a tooth. I pulled Joseph’s out during primary because it was hanging out of his mouth and I was tired of watching him play with it. It was so ready that it didn’t bleed. I probably shouldn’t have done it at church, but in this case it worked out fine. Both of Izabelle’s front two teeth have been loose for a while so when Joseph’s came out she was determined to have one out too and she pulled it out herself. I even caught it on video.
Later that evening we met Grandpa at his clinic and he froze off some warts on Joseph’s hand. Joseph was brave. When he woke up he had a huge blister and he thought it was a huge wart that had grown back over night. He came to tell us this morning to tell us that the good news was the toothfairy came and the bad news was that his wart was back. (No bad news after all.)
Brad and his Dad will be teaching violin lessons at the elementary school starting in September. Joseph is going to start too. It will be 7:30 to 8:30. I will miss having them around in the mornings.
