I decided to post this list because I want it for my records.  I am amazed at how much is expected of a seven (almost eight) year-old after sitting in school from 8:20-3:20, especially one that is all BOY! He tries his best, gets all As, and works incredibly hard in an incredibly academically challenging school.  He comes home more often than not with conduct marks for talking or fidgeting or putting his arms inside his shirt because he was cold, but I would probably do much worse if this list was expected of me daily.  Go Cole-Man! We are really proud of you. [And me. I'm proud of me for only forgetting one thing so far all year for all of this homework that I have to sign off on!]

On a positive note, we still find time to hunt for lizards outside.

AND, he brought home the very best All About Me sheet today from school. #meltmyheart

Also for the record, The Hero has yet to receive a bad conduct mark... or homework. ;)
