Big Fish

By
In the last few weeks, Jack has really turned the corner with swimming. Earlier this year, he was very hesitant in the water. He took a while to get in, was very afraid of going under and didn't want to swim by himself. Since our trip to Connecticut, where he swam with Olivia and Andrew and since starting camp, where he has swim lessons twice a week, he's practically a fish. He jumps in (someone still needs to be there to catch him, but this is much much better than essentially pulling him off the side), he swims on his own using a noodle, and he puts his face in the water.

It's amazing what he learns when he's not around us! ;)

Now to work on Spencer....

School Projects

By
Jack has a school project due this Friday. The project is to visit a specific historic landmark in the city and then put together a write-up about the visit and place. Jack's location is Hamilton Grange which was the country home of Alexander Hamilton. We visited a few weeks ago (yep, we've have the assignment this long). Finally, Jack started putting together the project today. OMG, it was like watching me from 30 years ago. There was denial and defensiveness, then came tears and finally he produced really good work. If this is what the next 15 years are going to be like, we are in trouble. Also - sorry Mom, I know I tortured you with this experience many many times.
