I went to Jamie's parent-teacher conference this morning. Her teacher had nothing but good things to say about Jamie. She said Jamie plays harder than any girl she has seen in a very long time. She follows the rules and routines well and gets along great with the other kids. She can write all of the letters in her name except for the 'e'. She suggested we ask Grampy (who is left handed) to help her learn how to write the letters.

The only thing the teacher said that sort of surprised me is that Jamie doesn't sing when the rest of the class sings during circle time. We all know how much the child likes to sing. I asked her about it later, and she said the rest of the class sings too loud. She likes to sing by herself.

Tonight Vic and Carson went on a cub scout outing to a fort. They ate dinner there and learned about the history of the fort. They even got to see a canon fired. Carson thought that was super cool and was impressed by how loud it was. He said he figured that noise would have knocked the soldier who was firing it right out, since he couldn't cover his ears and fire it at the same time. Then I commented that that wouldn't be a very good job to have. He said it would be an awesome job.

Today's pictures are of the party Jamie held at her Dora castle this afternoon and Caleb being just like his dad.
