Smarty pants Adam

The boys start school on August 24th. We got a call from the principal today. Because of his high testing and ability to learn quickly, Adam has been chosen as a role model for all-day-kindergarten. Basically, the school has one all day class, which a few exceptional children are chosen to be "role models" or "leaders" for the rest of the class, which is made up of children who would benefit from additional time. This is exciting (Adam is one of the youngest in his grade), but we are also worried. Not worried about Adam, we know he will be great. But we are worried about Ben, who is being surpassed by his younger brother. David and I agree that if they want Adam to skip a grade, we will not do it. Ben is already a timid guy and the fact that all last year, Adam was doing Ben's homework right along with him, has been rough on Ben's self-esteem. I can not work with Ben without Adam yelling out the answer. So to work with Ben, I have to be in the room alone with him. So, instead of 2 in school all day, I will have 3 in school all day and 2 at home. It makes getting the boys to and from school easier with all of them going at the same time. Right now, I am ready for school to start. The boys have been driving me a LITTLE CRAZY. Just a little, lol.
