Tomorrow is Jared's first "real" spelling test. I've been wondering how he'd do, so I gave him a pre-test this morning. He did fantastic! He only struggled with one word. I'm so happy for him.
I do know that each day is different with him. There are some days where his schoolwork makes you want to say, "APD? What APD?" There are other days, however, where every single word he writes, including his name, is the most bizarre writing I've seen. I'm hoping that tomorrow will be a good day and he'll be able to spell all his words, and recite his memory verse, to the best of his ability.
He gets so excited when he does well. He's going around saying, "I can write in curvis" (he swaps some letters around at times). He wrote all his spelling words in cursive and he is proud.
Tomorrow, we receive his second report card. I was thinking back to when I was a kid and I don't ever remember feeling anxious about report cards. My parents didn't make a big deal out of them, as long as my brother and I received "A's"... which we did. And, as an A student, I knew everything would be fine. I remember my friends stressing out about their parents seeing their report cards. I'm now wondering if God saved me from my school day grade stress because he knew I'd be so anxious about receiving Jared's report cards. Even if I tell myself, "It's okay, Kat. It's no biggie. He's 6 years old", inside I feel like a cheerleader in the last few seconds of a tied championship game, filled with anticipation and angst. Go, Jared, Go!
So those who rely on faith are blessed along with Abraham, the man of faith. Galatians 3:9 (NIV)
