Ahhh!!! It is quiet in the house.

So the kids are back in school and I am enjoying the silence of an empty house. It is awesome! The best part of this is that all 3 of my wonderful children are happy with being back at school. They all have great teachers and a great mix of classmates. Even my oldest son has set attainable goals for this, his last year of elementary school. I know it's still early, but the fear I posted about a few posts back is starting to disappear. I am keeping my fingers crossed that this is all an indicator on how the rest of the school year will go.

I have been blessed with  3 children who love school. I think a lot of this is based on how easy it comes to them. Just a forewarning I am about to do some kid bragging. I have really smart kids. So smart that I am not sure if I am going to be able to keep up with them as they get older. My oldest is actually ridiculously smart and loves learning. He is involved in an advanced learning program in school and loves embracing anything new. My typical middle child is also very smart, but is not as boisterous about sharing it with everyone like his big brother. He isn't a huge fan of school as a whole, but he is motivated. He is also Mr. Popular with the ladies so we have to keep an eye on that. My phone rings off the hook for him everyday. I definitely don't ever see him having any issues in the friends department. Then there is my baby. She is just as smart as both boys. She finished out her first grade year by being way ahead of the rest of her class in reading and already working on second grade curriculum. She is also the social butterfly of the family and loves hanging with her friends. So, as a whole you can see that my kids will hopefully have a wonderful school year. What I need to do is start studying so I can keep up with them. In only one year I will have a junior high school student.
