Back to school

Day starts his junior year today, after agonizing over his clothes yesterday. I can't wait for him, I know he's excited! I will def take pics! We are taking a very hands-on approach this year with school work. I hate the word "micro-manage" but basically that is what will be done. He did it his way last year, but now's the time to crack down and average won't cut it. He's a great kid and we know what he is capable of!

We will also begin what I guess you could say is "homeschooling" JJ. We've always done workbooks with him and I bought him kindergarten computer program last month which he loves, but we will begin in earnest with the "homework". I don't have any worry for him because according to his daycare provider he's the furthest along in her "class." And he's already quite artistic, telling you ahead of time what he will draw and it looks like what he says. Supposedly other kids when you ask afterwards you can see them thinking of what they want to say their drawing is.
