Meyer Update

Meyer has been a mapping machine at school. It is amazing. He now knows all of the countries in North America, South America, Europe, and more than half of Africa. Along with knowing where the countries are located on the maps, he also knows the flag that corresponds to each country. I once read a quote that said something like, "Your children are not meant to preform. They are not monkeys." Obviously, it was stated much better, but you get the idea. Anyway, my point is, it is so fun and amazing to watch him with his maps that how can he not preform it!

His reading is wonderful as well. He is in a book club at school and can pretty much read most things. For example, at stores he will read labels and ask me if we need a particular product such as Lip Smackers Lip Gloss. Quite often, it catches me off guard as I do still think of him as my little baby Meyer Bear. And he is so sweet and cuddly that it's hard for me to think of him as a big boy.

Although I don't like to admit this, he is very good at video games. Really, he is. And he loves to play. We limit the time that he gets to play his DS to a couple of times a week. He is also wonderful on the computer. I am hoping soon that he can help me maintain this blog!

He is love Tae Kwon Do and had a tournament a few weeks ago. In his tournament, he won three trophies. Two second place and one third. There were three kids in the group. It was amazing though, he broke boards and got up in front of a lot of people. We were so proud. He is a little soft when it comes to his moves, but he is very proud and loves to do it. We have been practicing with him to be loud and stiff.



Speaking of loud, that boy is a loud talker when he is excited. It is hilarious if it doesn't drive you crazy!

He is a wonderful family boy and loves us all so deeply. He walks around the house saying Mally is his best friend, but of course, they have their fights!

We have decided to send him to Racine Montessori after this year. It will be hard to not be where he is as I have since he started school, but it will be great for him. Many of his friends will also be going there so it is perfect. I will just miss him.
