This week I have a few different moments.  

First- yesterday I got to head to the school to watch Lucas receive two awards- one for good behavior and the other for outstanding academic and classroom performance.  These are awards that they can get every trimester-- and Lucas' has received both awards every semester since he began first grade.

The other moment is from my little man.  At home Ryder has become quite the chatty one- even purposely "reading" his stories loudly.  But at church, in his nursery class well they have barely ever even heard him speak.  He doesn't get into trouble, just does his own thing  and stays pretty quiet.

So one night when we were eating out, his behavior surprised me quite a bit.  He kept standing up and turning to look at the family behind us; he would smile and say hi and then turn around and eat some more of his food.  But then he decided to up his game, turning around saying hi and waving both hands back and forth high in the air like a victor greeting their admirers.  He loved the attention and continued to seek it throughout the meal.  When it was time for us to leave, he tuned and say "bye see you later."  Maybe my little guy won't be so shy after all.  

And Alex- not to be left out.  Well in life, she likes to "go big or go home"  even the way she eats toast has to be done with flare.  For example, one night we had some Texas toast with our Spaghetti.  She begins by peeling off all of the crust, which she then sets aside.  She then picks a piece of the bread off and rolls it into a ball, and then does this again and and again and again.  Then she proceeds to eat the little balls.  When we questioned what she was doing "Well it tastes better this way of course" she declared.  

Kids- gotta love them.
