Waiting.

Now that all of Kat's testing is over we are just waiting. We'll find out the results and if she is offered a spot at the GATE school in May.

The sweetest thing.

Drew is a charmer. A big time charmer. He sees a lady, a woman, a girl, a teenage girl, anyone female and he starts to warm them up. "I like your shoes." "You're pretty!""What kind of car do you drive?"
It's hilarious. The boy loves females. Loves them.

Today he turned his charm on me and in doing so managed to make a room full of women fall at his feet.

It was his preschool Valentine's party. The children all lined up and sang songs. The second song they sang was "My Girl" by the Temptations. On the last chorus with impeccable timing he sang his love to me. The children all sang, "I guess you'd say, what can make me feel this way? My girl" and as soon as the children sang "My girl" Drew sang, "My mom." "I guess you'd say, what can make me feel this way? My girl" "My mom" "My girl" "My mom!"

I managed to get it on tape through a fluke and it is such a treasured moment.

Such a sweet boy!

Parent inventory.

Oh dear me. The GATE school sent us a parent questionnaire with 12 items on it. We've been filling it out and trying to be honest about Kat without blowing too much sunshine. The reality is...Kat is a great kid. She's smart, she's friendly, she's talented. Everyone loves Kat. If you don't believe me, just meet Kat. You'll be a believer in no time.
She's not perfect but they didn't ask us any questions about her faults. If they had asked "Is your child stubborn?" we could have gone on for pages.

It's hard to be fair and balanced when it is your kid...
