Firsts and Lasts for our family...

Firsts and Lasts for our family—

I was teary eyed when Caleb took his last bottle (see pic). He has grown up so fast. He seems much more of a baby then Jeb was at his age. He likes sippies and goes down easily so the transition is not that rough.

Caleb wants to now hold his bananas like big bro and eat them. I am so glad that messes don’t scare me.

Caleb enjoyed his first peep at the Atlanta Zoo. I love Peeps so this needed to be documented.

Easter, Caleb enjoyed his first crème marshmallow egg….I love candy…so again…this needed documentation.

This Easter was actually NOT freezing cold so the boys could wear some cute togs. Too bad all 8 outfits that I liked for Caleb swallowed him WHOLE. So we went with something old, oh well, he could have worn a burlap sack and looked cute in my opinion. I will do an Easter post next!

Cay rode the Patty for the first time. Jeb did some solo riding down to the creek, which was fun and tense too ( I am always tense with the horses out...I don't know if I will ever loosen up around such monstrous animals).

I am glad that the semester is winding down and am dealing with all the USUAL students that realize the last week of the semester that they just might fail. Where have they been? Why do they think that I am going to give them "extra credit" when they have not done JACK all semester, have turned in work late, have not participated in discussions, failed quizzes, and did not generally give a flip about class? They are out of their mind??? I think more high school teachers (if you are one listen up) need to let kids reap some consequences of their choices. I know why they don't though, PARENTS, ....so if you are a parent you need to let your children reap some consequences of their choices--BACK OFF and let them fail! Believe it or not, it may be the best thing you ever did for them. Well, that is my rant today...I go through this every semester and it just gets so old.
