School is almost over and....

Wow. I started this blog post.... I don't even know how long ago. And funnily enough I am right back to where I was when I first started to write it originally. Only this time we are nearing the end of Trio's second grade year. It's hard for me to believe and grasp and accept that my not so little boy is almost a third grader.

It's also hard for me to believe I haven't updated this in so long. That and my personal blog which will probably move more towards a book-ish blog (that is if I don't decide to start writing one of those up anyways). But the chances of that are slim especially considering it has been three years since I updated either one of these. So baby steps.

Anyhoo starting this up again because one of my goals this year both in my personal and professional life was to start writing more. Typing, blogging, little bursts of articles or inspirations whatever have you I will try to start this up along with my own one and see how long it lasts.

But it is hard to catch up on three years of Trio-dom and all his awesomeness in one blog written while on the library WiFi (as I currently am without at home but that is a post for another time and one for mine). So I will bullet it to catch up and then try to go/remember from there.

--Trio is almost in third grade now. Scholastically he is doing well enough his issue is if something doesn't interest him he doesn't care about it (he gets that from me) but rather than power through it he billy goats getting it done so he can do what he wants which ends up taking three times longer (NOT from me). But he is still doing well and I'm proud of how far he has come and how smart he is considering all he has been through. Because when he wants to he picks things up rather quickly.

--He is good at math (thanks Dad). He likes to read but isn't always good at retelling the story back to you. So we are working on that. Part of that likely ties into him not being interested in what he has to read for school so again work in progress.

--Speaking of reading, currently we are into graphic novels/comics. Which I am all about. My dad once told me that is what got him into the classics, when they started making those in that format when he was growing up. Plus reading is reading. So yeah.

--Loves his screen time like most eight year old kids. For Christmas he did get his own tablet and he inherited my Fire (mainly for the books I got him from Amazon). This is heavily monitored though as I have no desire to have a TV/Screen zombie.

--He loves art. He likes to draw and does it. A lot. I need a notebook to keep them all contained since I recently had to go through and purge some (don't judge me!) I do have plans to get a spiral and be go like go forth and draw.

--He also likes music and still learns really well by it. Schoolhouse Rock is about to be our best friend.

--Loves to dance.

--Still has a great smile, personality, and is his awesome Trio-self.

And that is the really condensed rundown. Again I will try to be better about blogging for us both but hopefully you enjoyed this recap and will be back for more! ^_^
