Tom hasn’t seen George for two weeks now. There is so much change that occurs in a 3 month old. I try to update him about all the little changes while we are apart.
This was a conversation last night.
Me-He is getting really good at talking. He will go back and forth with you.
Tom-Does he say words?
Me-No he doesn’t say words. He gurgles. (and I made the noise George does.)
Tom-What kind of teacher are you if you can’t teach a 3 month old words. And you call yourself an academic advisor.
Me- I know I have failed him, but in my defense my students should already know words by the time I get them.
Tom- Just saying, no child left behind.
Grr…he knows that NCLB is a big thorn for me and a huge reason why I left teaching in the traditional sense.
This weekend he can have a crack at it and teach him all the words.

Jim asked me on the phone the other day if Jimmie was really sitting by himself or if I keep propping him up. I said no, he is really sitting all by himself! Poor dads miss their boys 😦
They sure do! They just go so much so quickly it can be hard to believe sometimes!
