Look at that FACE!

From 2010-02-04

He's engaged. He's interacting. He's fully in the moment. This alone makes me smile. The reason for his interest adds extra joy to the moment. He's taken an interest in school after my repeated warning that this is the very last year I want to teach 1st grade to him (and we're really finishing up kindergarten). He showed Mike his math and told Mike he could count to 20.....and then he continued to 110 before he said, "That's enough."

Yes, yes, yes!!!! I've prayed that learning would become an obsession one of these seasons...and I think we're finally there. I'm not so excited about some of the other focus' of his life...but this one is one I love. We've been waaaaiting for this moment, and now we'll seize it. I predict he finishes kinder and 1st in the next six months.

Choosing Joy!

That is SO GREAT! What joy that boy can bring you. Just the other day, Emma was looking over my shoulder at your blog and exclaimed, "Zander! Look at him! I really miss him." Yes, you and yours have left an impression on our family.
