L is a rascal and a squirrel but he is also so charming. We've been reading Encyclopedia Brown and "The Enormous Egg." He even reads books himself sometimes. He's doing better and better in school. He loves to ride his bike to school and I'm glad he's growing up into such a cute little munchkin.

Church Talk
Levi had a talk to give in primary today and I decided to use the IEW format to give it structure. He kind of crawled around on the floor doing his own thing as I asked questions that built this talk. As he was giving it, when he got to the part about toys he stopped and said "I don't know why I put that in there..." It was adorable how flustered he got realizing that talking about toys in a talk wasn't appropriate. I love that he is learning what is appropriate. Yay pragmatics.
Introduction
When I became 8 I got baptized and then I received the Gift of the Holy Ghost. The Holy Ghost gives me good feelings joy, comfort, gratitude.
Topic 1: I’m grateful for the
thriftstore with cats right across the street
Details: Animals make me happy and the cats are very playful. God made animals and He made me too.
Topic 2: I’m glad I have fun toys. Toys are fun to play with and God wants me to be happy.
Topic 3: I’m thankful for my happy life. I have nice parents. I have brothers and sisters. I have a healthy body. I have a good mind. I have the gift of the Holy Ghost.
Conclusion:
The Holy Ghost helps me feel patient and forgiving of others. He helps me feel thankful for all I have.
I know God Loves me because He has a plan for us to be
resurrected and He gave us the Gospel.
The Holy Ghost will help you feel grateful for your blessings.
I say these things in the name of Jesus Christ.
Amen.

3rd grade
L is doing well in 3rd grade. There are daily math and reading assignments. He has gotten pretty good at coming home, eating a snack, starting on his piano, math, and reading. I'm so proud of him for managing these responsibilities. I'm so glad he has learned so much and developed so much in the last year.

Great Summer
L has had a great summer. He played with his friend R a few times. He got to swim once a week. Some friends from church got puppies and L got to play with them a few times. He did a lot of work in his math books and some language arts. The summer has flown by and I'm confident that L will have a good year in 3rd grade.

Lucky!
L likes to search for 4 leaf clovers. I took a picture of him with one. I asked him to take another picture explaining that this one looked like someone was poking him with a stick.
He got a hoot out of that and took a nice picture for me.

Solo for a Rolo
In primary we fill extra time with "Solo for a Solo". Today L raised his hand but then declined coming up. Tonight he told me that he wasn't sure his song would be appropriate. This was his song:

friend
L has a friend R. We finally connected with her dad and have started having a weekly playdate. I'm so glad when my kids have friends.
He's doing great in school and is back to a normal calendar for behavior. So awesome.
