Enough of this “math is hard” bullsh*t! My daughter rocks.
Tonight, Katie was working on her homework by herself. I asked Chris if he had reviewed it, he said no. So I picked it up to look it over.
I was pretty impressed. She’s managing rules (skipping by 2, [...]
Remember my freaking out about Katie and gym class?

And I got Katie’s report card today.
Now, you have to understand this about me. I was a straight A student. And not a borderline A student. A top A student. Some [...]

Katie did, in fact, survive her first day of kindergarten. She loves it. She has a few classmates from Pre-K and lots of new kiddos in the class - there are 16 kids.
