New Skillz

Just in case any of you were wondering if all this homework is paying off -- Boylee's new favorite thing to do is draw. I think that comes directly from all the coloring, writing and drawing he has been doing at school and in his homework.  We got some drawing books from the school library -- How to Draw Spongebob, and How to Draw Pokemon are two big hits -- and he has been quite diligent about sitting down and following the steps.  

Also, one new family purchase: a battery-operated pencil sharpener.  There are a  lot of pencils in our lives now, with all that homework and drawing. Especially one Spiderman pencil that Boylee received from his teacher as a prize for getting 100% on his first school test:  reading sight words.
