Nico got his first report card of the year last week. Overall, pretty good. He needs to work on producing neater work and listening a little better, but I could have told you that. His reading is really starting to take off. His reading at the beginning of the year was where they want it by the middle of the year.
What is funny (at least to me), is that whenever we work on practicing spelling words, I *jokingly* tell him I am getting real tired of him getting them all right all the time. So I went with that routine when I talked to him about his report card. For a second, he was a little scared, since I was being so serious. It was always funny when my mom did that with us kids...she'd "get after" us for bringing home all As... telling us that we better shape up and start bringing home Bs and Cs.
It was hilarious when I started driving the struggle bus at Ft. Myers in the IB program and I had to redo Trigonmetry. Joke's on everyone else, since I haven't had to use a Trig a day in my life. Boom.

We had our first winter storm this weekend. We had maybe an inch of snow on Friday night and woke up Saturday thinking, is that all? Then proceeded to get another 3 inches on Saturday. We made a game day call for Dave to try to make it to Louisville for a birthday party of one of his best good friends from high school. It took him 2.5 hours to get out of Chicago, and the roads were just a hot mess south. So he turned around and came home.
The good news is that we are headed down there for Christmas, so he might get a chance to see his friends afterall. Sunday we took one of Nico's friends for sledding at the sledding hill. I even got in on some of that action. Let me tell you, even as an adult, sledding is really fun.
