Seth


Seth was struggling a bit in school about a month ago. I was completely shocked when I received the poor progress report. I was so mad at his teacher because I was sure it was all her, as dumb Moms like me do. After a conference with her and her teaching partner, it all changed. I was able to explain Seth to them and they turned it around along with Seth. He started feeling the love from them and he started reading up a storm. Since then he has read all of the Roald Dahl books, yes ALL of them except for "going solo". He was bored and I said, "don't read it". I liked it but maybe it is a little advanced for him. Now he is reading the Harry Potter books and I am so excited for him! Wow, what a turnaround. We could not interest him in any books besides graphic novels before. Nate and I tried and tried.
He is also excelling in piano. He asked to start taking lessons again. He keeps skipping ahead of his teachers assignments for him. He plays the piano instead of video games or anything else with his free time. It is fabulous.

I love that little guy and I'm so glad he's reading. Tell him I say hi and that I hope he'll play us a song at Grandma's house. Tell him to practice for us!

Wow. I'm so proud of him. He sounds like he's just much happier. Remember how that feels? The first time you discovered that world of books? Amazing with the piano too.

Tell Seth that Grandma always knew he was wonderful. I'm glad the teachers (and Seth) are realizing how wonderful Seth is.

I love little Setie. He is a good boy, certainly very tender.
