update!

This week was a very full week for us here in the Tichi house. It is the second week of school and both my babies have been a little under the weather with the sniffles (no fever). Wednesday we started our weekly club meetings in Awana's and Toni is in Sparks again and Mikey is in his last year of Cubbies. I am the Truth in Training leader and John oversees all the Awana games.

I think I am going to love getting to know the older kids (3rd, 4th, and 5th grades) and once we get our routine down I am sure we will all have a ball going through Gods word together...teaching is fun.

Mikey started Gymnastics today and I am happy to see him in his new class. He seems to help the younger kids out in his class. Mikey is growing so fast and is just a fun kid to be around. Mikey is full of life and is loving doing his A, B, Cs with me. He is a smart boy.

Toni is loving 1st grade and the teachers have nothing bad to say about her...in fact they send extra notes telling me how much they love having her in the class. And yes you heard me right. Toni has a Teacher and a Assistant teacher in training I guess. Lucky Toni the assistant teacher was in her class room last year so she started school already knowing one teacher. Today Toni made me tear when I picked her up. In Toni's class if they are good for the day they get a "happy" buck. Now once every two weeks they get to spend their "happy" bucks at their teachers store. Well today she hopped into the car and handed me a beautiful candle. I asked her where she got it from and that is when she explained their system. Then I heard her telling Lia that she spent all her money....all $20 bucks. I joined in and asked how she had $20 bucks already on the 9th day of school. She said "well mom we also get other awards like the best behaved for the day". She also said sometimes the teacher will reward her for being the only one that listens. Yeah....her teacher loves her.
