Visiting Great Grandma Dietz




Yesterday we traveled to Waterloo, Iowa to visit my Grandma Dietz in the nursing home. The boys did very well considering all the different people/situations that can occur in a nursing home. Grandma doesn't hear very well so it was difficult to get her to understand names. Had I thought of it earlier, we should have written the names down for her to read instead. Either way, the boys got a kick out of it because she kept repeating the wrong name back to me and would say somewhat funny sounding names instead. Sometimes it is better to laugh at the situation even though it is difficult.

We took grandma to watch the birds. There was a man by the bird cage who was very excited to see and speak to us. He said he recognized both Travis and I from HyVee and he kept repeating how he saw us there (of course we never saw him at HyVee). He then wanted to know the boys' names and proceeded to give each of them hugs while saying I love you over and over again. The boys handled the situation wonderfully and I am sure they made his day. I am so proud of them.

Be my Valentine...

I was helping out in Cody's class for Valentine's Day yesterday. It is so cute to see how excited the kids are to share their Valentine's with one another. Of course a lot of the excitement has to do with the candy that usually comes with it. As the class was listening to the story of Valentine's Day that was being read by the teacher, a little girl came over from the other classroom to ask if Cody was there. I told her yes and she proceeded to give me a Valentine for him. When I realized who it was (it happened to be a girl he has talked about), I quickly said hi and told her I am Cody's mom. She said hi back and said nice to meet you

Last night we had a goal conference for Connor. We are so proud of him. He is doing wonderful in school and has had a lot of scores of 100% and above! His test scores are wonderful. He is scoring very high and is at the top of his class. He is also in GATE (Gifted And Talented Education) again this year for math and science. We are so proud!
