the eldest's monthly update

So this month brought another month of maturity.

--taking out the trash in order to get a magnet in order to fill the week and earn his little paycheck (very little!  where we are already teaching the lesson of tithe)

--learning to irritate less and be kind more often to his sisters.

--the closure of basketball...(sorry, missed these last month)

--reading and writing far better... He even read "Owl at Home"-- a 2nd grade reader.  (and look what sweet surprise we received in the mail this month!)

And one day, he passed me coming down the stairs with some random lego designs.  From the other room he tells me that you spell zoo "Z-O-O."  I figured he was reading it somewhere.  No. Here is what I found when I went into the other room...

What a fine young man you are becoming, David!
