This morning I went to the parent conference time with Jacob's teacher, Mrs. MacInnis. Jacob has all green passes from the subjects, and the teacher said he is above level on math, reading, and overall everything is excellent, even his behavior. I was very happy to hear that, it's great to know all the hardwork I do pays off. And I am happy to have a confident child at school. The only thing that he needs to work on is his handwriting, I told his teacher. So we will start working on that. Jacob LOVES to learn spelling words every week. Because he has been getting perfect scores on spelling tests each Friday, we promised him he would get a new toy if he has 4 perfect score(4) testes. And he works hard on his spelling and he can't wait for Friday to come to take the test... wow!! Today is only Wednesday and he is already ready for the test.

As for his math, we sometimes still struggle at his homework time, because mental math is not easy stuff and it's a lot of homework he has to do everyday, on top of his reading. I try to tell myself to cool down and not get angry when he is frustrated. After all we really just wanted to expose him to another way of mastering math, not to force him. After my attitude changed, Jacob seemed to be better, more relaxed. I really need to remember Jacob is only a 6.85 years old little boy. I don't want him to be a genuis, I just want him to be a confident happy kiddo.

I also went in for my bi yearly teeth cleaning today ... OUCH! I dread this time. Bad news. I have 3 spots between teeth that have cavity and another spot under the filling, so total of 4 places that need to be fixed. The dentist asked if I have been flossing everyday... of course I do... or at least I try to... but I have to admit since I gave birth some days I have been sloppy... when I got too tired, I would fall asleep while holding Acacia to sleep, and several times I did not brush.. until I woke up at midnight....   I am sure that's the cause of these new cavity... but I won't admit that to my dentist..hehe.

Acacia did really well at my teeth cleaning time today, all smiles and cooing. The staff loved playing with her, and she didn't cry at all, my dentist held her for a while. They all thought she was a great baby, and very pretty!! Of course, see her parents they should know... haha.
