It only took him 98 days of school . . .

Blake came home with a "red light note" for the first time. He got it for talking when he wasn't supposed to. To all of you who know Blake well that should come as no surprise. When Scott asked him, "What we were going to do about this?" He said, "Throw it in the trash."
It happened on the 98th day of school. I know this because they celebrated the 100th day two days later. I thought we'd have red light notes on a weekly basis, so I guess I should be happy it took this long.
Of course since then, he already come home with another one. This one for being contrary. Considering his nickname was Mr. Contrary when he was 3, this doesn't surprise me either.
Here's hoping the second half of school gets better.

Yeah for Blake

I posted in a previous post that Blake had written a book for a Young Authors contest. He was recently chosen to represent Madison County. Only a handful of kids from his school were selected. Once he gets his book back I'll post a few pages from it. He gets to attend a school board meeting where he will be honored and also a tea at the Edwardsville Library. He will also get to attend a Young Authors Conference at Edwardsville High School.
