She/He

Ainsley did not win the student council spot and was pretty much devastated, "But I really wanted to win!" she said, "Because I didn't win last year either!" It took most of the weekend to "get over it" but she's going to try again next year! (insert proud parent smile!)

She's become obsessed with reading lately...

Partly because she enjoys it, partly because she likes to challenge herself and see how far she can get over her reading goal (last 6 weeks she was at 210%) and mostly because she just learned there's a prize at the end of school for the person with the highest level above their reading level. She also gets to turn her chore time at home into books in the book orders... another big plus.

Little Bug has just figured out how to really snap (you know one that makes a noise)...and is pretty darn fascinated with his new skill that he's worked on for months! Ainsley had been trying to teach him which was pretty funny to watch.

He has also become obsessed with Football! In fact he just got his first "real football." He had a Nerf football that he's been hauling back and forth to school... it became so used that the "foam guts" started to either come off or be picked off. I told him we'd get him a new football to replace it and he says, "Well I want to come and pick it out, because it HAS to be brown with white on top!"
