It is hard for me to imagine that one of my children might actually prefer school over summer. Elias told me at the beginning of the summer that he wished that school would be all year long, but I assumed that he would eventually enjoy sleeping in and playing all day. This does not seem to be the case. School is Elias' element. He enjoys reading and art and most of all science. Today Elias came home and told me that in science he learned about sorting. I am not sure what sorting is about, but Elias was excited about it and he volunteered information about it. I could not ask for more than that. Elias is also continuing to read up a storm. I was worried that he would have fallen behind in his reading over the summer because he didn't do much independent reading. We continued to faithfully read him a book at nap time and a book at bedtime every day, but he rarely sat down with one of us and read through a book on his own. Lucky for us, Elias is a natural at reading too and he still rocks his reading teacher's world. Tonight Elias read Sophia a bedtime story. He is a good big brother too.
