My son, Zachary (Zach), is 10 years old and in 5th grade. He just went to the Dr.'s office yesterday and weighed 101.8 lbs and measured 49 1/2" (4'-11 1/2"). He is also in the Gifted & Talented Program at his school, he tested high on all three tests (Reading, Writing & Math), especially Math. He started playing soccer this year and is the team's goalie. He will be playing his 3rd season of hockey this year and also enjoys playing goalie for his team. He is also quite the catcher for baseball, this last season he finally got to play in the Player-Pitch division. He is also quite the "computer whiz", in 3rd & 4th grade he was in a classroom where they were issued Apple laptops for both years. He now knows more about computers than I do!
My daughter, Grace, is 6 1/2 and in 1st grade. She just loves school and has made friends with a Special Needs child named Elijah, she says he's her best friend. She is so good with and says she wants to be a Special Education teacher when she grows up. Grace reads at 3rd-4th level, we are pretty sure she has a photographic memory and once she learns/sees a word she just remembers it. She loves sports, especially soccer & basketball. She is currently playing her 3rd season of soccer and will start basketball in late winter. Grace has always has both seasonal (trees, grass) & environmental (animals, dust mites) allergies, therefore, she misses a lot of her sporting activities, I make sure to tell the coaches ahead of time that she may miss practices and/or games. These haven't really affected the teams since she is so young, but it may when she gets older. She has also been seeing an Occupational Therapist (OT) for her fine motor skills with cutting, writing & pencil grip and seems to be really helping her.
Hopefully, this is a good intro to my family. I really love being a wife and mother and would do anything necessary to provide a good home for my family!
