believe it or not, i have two kids in school.
carmen is in grade 2 and evan is in kindergarten.
this year kindergarten goes ALL day!
nice!
i am all by myself with little isabel.
i am all by myself with little isabel.
we have had some good times together already.
i loooove it.
it is so much fun.
i realized that poor evan is the one that hasn't had that much one-on-one time with mommy :(
that's probably why he doesn't know how to read yet.
he knows the numbers pretty well ( i always hear him counting... till 100!!)
he can read easy, three letter words.
and bless his heart, when he gets a book he reads it sounding every letter :D
he loves books, so i think he'll get it in no time.
i just wish i could have helped him more. and also help him read in spanish, like i did with carmen.
that being said, i tried... but he concentrates for 5 words!!! 5 words at a time... and he's running!
talking about running.... yesterday they had the TERRY FOX run at school and he told me he could run faster than his big buddies. and i believe him.
he is soooo fast.
he call him "dash" at home. from the incredibles movie :D
i am so proud of him.
he is doing so good.
his teacher ( mrs b, reaaaally lovely young woman) has even told me that he helps other children at his class feel better ( soooo many have separation issues and cry if the parents are not there). i am so glad my kids are not like that.
i am sooo proud!
carmen is doing excellent, of course.
her teacher is mr pawer. really good teacher. i am so happy.
evan sr also started school... and with the fraternity things going on as well, and work!!! i haven't seen him much.
it is everything all over again!
i seriously feel like a single mother some days.
but i am not new to this, so i am ok.
you learn.... you really learn.
i am being pushed to my limits.... stretched. but i am doing it.
everything is FAR from perfect, but somehow i managed to have clean clothes, food made, children well groomed, clean house, relief socitey running, visits done... and still be happy!!!! ( and sane :D)
it is really a miracle.
i just know, i am not alone in this.
heavenly help is always there.

Aww Evan jr is such a sweet charming boy, how could you not love him, you know? I think it's harder for boys to sit and concentrate on something like reading for a long time. Adriel's the same way. The single mom thing is starting to happen to me too. You do get used to it, but it's not something I want to do forever. You are amazing, by the way, to do all you do, and you have such a good attitude about it all.
