4

4 years ago I was pregnant…

4 years and 1 day ago, I was not.
This doesn’t get any easier.  As much as I’ve said, “We’re done, no more babies for us, I can’t do it again” there was always this little whisper that said, “you will…”  We tried this summer, and it didn’t happen, and now as hard as I try to hear that whisper, it’s not there.

 4 years, and I still feel the shock, the pain, the anguish, a sadness that wrings me dry of tears and envelopes me so fully that every heart beat hurts…
 
Dear baby boy,
I’m sorry.
Love,
Momma

1st grade spelling...

So 1st grade spelling is no joke!!  This week (yes, just this week) Greyson is learning the phonic rule of "i_e" long i, spelled with the bossy e.

Therefore, his spelling words for just this week are:

slide
stride
price
slice
twice
shine
spine
airline
combine
sunshine
device
sacrifice
collide
decide
divide
entice

Yeah... pretty sure he'll spell better than me by 3rd grade!! Oh who am I kidding, the kid spells better than I do now!!  Oh and he's reading Chapter books and he's doing 4 digit addition (carry the 1) and lots of multiplication!!  He's definitely being challenged, but he loves it!!
