Update on the kiddos

OK so I know it's been forever since I have updated the blog. there have been many times where I will sit down to work on it and then either something happens that I need to take care of or I get side tracked. So here it goes.

Riley ~ Is doing good in school, we had parent/teacher conferences a couple weeks ago and was told that he is doing well but sometimes likes to socialize a little to much!! He is definitely our social one, he has so many friends that he plays with its hard to keep them all straight!! Beginning in July he will start football. Now mind you, when we went to sign him up for football I figured it would be flag football, man oh man was I wrong. He is signed up for full fledged tackle football!!! Practices start in July and games will start in August. I'm not really sure who is more nervous for him to play, me or Sean.

Aidan ~ So much has happened with him. He was having a lot of problems at school so we went through the whole thing on seeing if he would qualify for some "extra" help. Well during the testing phase of the process, the testing staff thought that they needed to test his IQ and all that. Well about 2 weeks ago we had a meeting to discuss what course of action that we could take with him and also to talk about all of the test scores that he received. We found out that Aidan has a high IQ for someone of his age. He qualified for the Highly Gifted Program!!! We are so proud of him,. What this means is that next year he will be going to Rogers Park Elementary in Anchorage and be in a class of children that are at his same level. They will still do the same curriculum as other students in the school district just at a much higher level. He spent the day at the school last Friday and loved it. He is so excited to go.

Liam ~ Is getting huge!! It's hard to believe that he is almost 2. He is into everything and talking so much more, It is into identifying body parts like nose, eyes, ears, hair, mouth, and hands. We had to move him to a toddler bed, not because he is climbing out of the crib but because he has gotten to big for it!!

OK I will try to be better at keeping up on this but I can't promise anything!
