Okay so it's quite a bit later, but I'm just now getting back to posting the last of my old notes about the kids. Here's the little bit I had about Reed in 2008, before I started this blog.
1/15/08 - On school days, we tend to struggle with you getting dressed and ready to go. A while ago, Tod had what has turned out to be a brilliant idea - he leaves a few workbook pages for you downstairs, so that you'll be excited about getting dressed to go downstairs. Lots of motivation things like this (sticker charts, etc.) work with you for just a few days...and we're grateful for every day something does work. But this has been a long-lasting thing. You are so eager to get down there and work on your sheets, you get dressed right away. Right now we're doing kindergarten sheets but I'm thinking we'll have to get first grade workbooks soon.
2/20/08 - You haven't taken naps at school probably since last summer, other than once in a while. Instead you spend all of nap time reading books - they put your cot in the library area just for that purpose. One day when I was dropping you off, you reminded the teacher that she'd said she was going to put some new books on the bookshelf; she said "you've read all of these, haven't you?" and you answered "Yes! Even the dictionary!". On weekends we can get you to take a nap probably half the time, if we lay down with you on our bed. Sleep just isn't really your thing!
