Look at this second grader! Tomorrow is the first day of in-person school (the last three weeks have been online for everyone), but Barrett won't be there - we've opted to continue virtual schooling for the next grading period, at minimum. And it has been working out well, if only because we hired a fantastic retired teacher to help Barrett out for three hours every morning. After lunch, he's still got some work to do, but the hubs and I trade off overseeing those assignments, depending on who has meetings and deadline work. I know Barrett misses seeing friends every day, and for sure he misses recess (walking the dog at lunchtime just isn't the same), but he also understands, as well as a seven year old can, that this isn't forever.
Barrett has been obsessed with Legos lately, and Memaw and PawPaw have gifted him many sets (Flintstones, Marvel), which he puts together with lightning speed. He's taken over the formal living room, and I just gave in on that because fine, and the Lego table gets new themes weekly. This weekend it became the setting of "Mulan" after we watched the new live action movie!
Barrett also has his first orthodontist appointment tomorrow! His teeth are spaced out and won't let some adult teeth come in, so I think he may be headed for an expander like Britton had. We shall see!
Likes: Legos, dressing up like a cowboy, Marvel anything, Peppa Pig, drawing
Dislikes: steak (really?!)
