There was no school today for the boys, it’s conference time. We had met earlier to chat about Carlos so we only had Levi’s conference. It was all in all good. He’s really come a long way! He did a great drawing of himself that was the first one that actually looks like him (that’s exciting!), his letters are awesome and also did a number dot-to-dot unassisted that was perfect. Levi’s struggled some in school so this was quite the accomplishment and made Dee and my hearts soar.
Also ended up talking a little about Carlos and found out that he had said some truly uncharacteristic and not nice things to his speech teacher. That dampened the elation of Levi’s accomplishments a tad. I talked with Carlos when we got home for quite some time and I had him write her an apology note. We all loaded up in the van and went back up to the school so he could talk to her. He did want to write the note, he was truly sorry but all in all I think that no matter how hard it was, it was the right thing to do. He actually talked with her, gave her the note and a hug and apologized. Hopefully it won’t happen again.
Came home, played out in the yard and the kids helped pick a bunch of apples and made homemade applesauce. Always a treat!
