Boone's first report card at the new school...

I am so thankful that we are able to have him there. It's a private Christian school with a small student population. Mandy is teaching there part time this year, and hopefully full time next year. With her working there and paying his tuition we have a little more leftover which covers general expenses associated with school and a few beans more.

He has been doing so much better than at Kendrick Lakes. He is even doing better (at least it seems to me) than when Mandy was home schooling him. Boone is such a social guy. Which is ironic, because while he is outgoing, he is also a little off-putting with his peers.

He gets frustrated when his classmates don't want to play his way. Rarely does he jump in to an existing play session or game without trying to modify it to his preference.

He is a smart kid. I think because we're aware of his quirks and able to communicate our awareness to him I hope and pray we can help him to adjust to more...I hate to use this word...acceptable social behavior.

While I don't believe in following social conventions for their own sake, I don't want to see my son suffer in his relationships.

I say these things only in analysis. In the recent months he has matured and he seems to be fitting in so much better than before. He's growing up and figuring things out on his own. And he figures things out so well.
