Oh Happy Day

Good news. Besides a few sniffles, we're all pretty much free of the sicknesses that have plagued us for weeks. Stomach bugs (yes, plural), ear infections, pink eye, the flu. All (fingers crossed!) behind us.

More good news. All of Katherine's good luck rituals - wearing her pj's backwards, putting a spoon under her pillow, etc. - worked! She was hoping for a delayed school opening this morning due to the snow overnight, but we got enough snow that they actually had to cancel school altogether. I have some happy girls here this morning!

And still more good news. Isaac got his first report card! Considering the subject, I am very pleased with Goodman's remarks:

"Isaac is a very happy, very busy little boy when he's at school. He loves playing in the blocks, dramatic play, and water table areas. He is quite verbal and loves to sing as well (though his speech is sometimes difficult to understand). Isaac is still working on name recognition, though his ability to count is strong. We enjoy his enthusiasm."
