Survived Part II

Well would you look at that...I'm back. The very next day as I said I would. Trust me no one is as shocked as I am.

So I promised this would be a post about Mini Flash and his doings. Since we only get to see him on the weekends it's hard to come up with anything earth shattering to talk about. He's nearing the end of first grade and come to think of that is pretty earth shattering. I mean, seriously the kid is growing up so fast I'm not sure how I can keep up. I'm feeling the needs to start buying clothes on sale for the following season and start reading books about knowing how to talk to your six year old cause I'm struggling. Where do you draw the line between letting your kid joke with you and talking back to you? How do you keep them from crying every time you tell them they have to do something new?

His reading level has been improving considerably. In primary he's the only one we don't have to help find scriptures in class. We may not read scriptures every night but having him find scriptures has turned into a game so at least he knows how to navigate through the Book of Mormon. I have eight six year olds in my class and I can honestly say not many six year old kids can do that.

 MF is becoming more and more like his father. I'm sure his mother is in there somewhere but since I don't know her very well I can't give anything specific. He likes to kid and joke and play just like his dad. He's a wonderful older brother playing with his 16 month old sister like they are best friends. Nearly every morning I find the two of them in her crib either reading a book or just goofing off with each other.

This summer is bringing new experiences. We are planning switching off every two weeks instead of every other week for the summer vacation. I also plan on giving him a summer job by having him learn how to type. I also have a feeling he'll be learning how to ride a two wheeler. This should be interesting.

Shall I dare to update again tomorrow? I think I will dare. For tomorrow it'll be about Flash and me. Stay tuned.
