progress report

 Last year I blogged a few times about the little first grader I was tutoring once a week through the FWCS Study Connections program.  I'm delighted to report that I will be tutoring him again this year, only now he is a big second grader and both of his front teeth have grown in.  His speech isn't perfect yet but the teeth have helped a lot.  He informed me, very proudly, that these are his grown up teeth. He must take good care of them so they will last a while.  I told him how long mine have lasted but I'm not sure if numbers that large mean much to him.  He told me that he thought his (which are nice and straight and  white by the way) need to last at least 12 years.  As he explained it to me, he needs that long to get through college.  "First you go to high school, then you go to college and then you're a grown up."  It's good to have goals.
