Jack came home from school the other day so excited. He had talked about space and walking on the moon in class then they all made space suits. Here's my little astronaut. He had a lot of fun riding in his homemade spaceship. It turns out the moon really is made of cheese.
While I'm on the subject of Jack I have to write about his struggle to be good. He has a behavior chart at school that's a 1-5 scale. 1 gets him sent to the principal and 5 is good. We've taken to averaging out Jack's scores because on average he gets 1-2 very low scores in a week and then he'll get a score like 7 which means he did above and beyond good behavior. The other day he came home with a 0. That's right, off the charts naughty. Every morning Dave and I send him to school with a "Get a 5 today" and everyday he says, "I'll try" in a very non-committal way. He doesn't want to make promises he can't keep. Some days he comes home and says "guess what mom I got a 5 today" and other days he says, "I got a 2 today. I tried but I just couldn't be good." Sometimes being a little boy is so tough. Your the best for trying Jack. We love you!!!
