Amazed---

Sometimes I look at my kids and wonder Wow- they are such amazing little people!  I help in Michael's classroom once a week at school.  He is in a Spanish Immersion program at his school that means half the day they are taught in English and half the day they are taught in Spanish.  It is amazing to me to see these little first graders, none of who knew any Spanish before starting, now 5 months into school and already speaking and understanding Spanish so well.  I was sitting checking papers in his Spanish class a few days ago and found myself just listening to them converse in Spanish.  Now I know no spanish at all but it was amazing to see the teacher talking and telling them to do things and watching MY kid understand everything she was saying.  And then to hear him talking and asking questions completely in Spanish it kind of blows me away.  He is not only doing so well in in Spanish but is excelling in every area of school and he loves it which is the most important thing to me!  I can't wait to continue to watch both my kids grow- I can't wait to see what incredible things they both do!

On another note we registered Kate to start Kindergarten next year.  A very exciting day for her and kind of a sad one for mom!  She's so ready though- she's reading so well and loves to learn!
