Well, Liam turned 6 a few months ago. He still loves going to school, and we just had his first parent/teacher conference last week. The teacher told us that they expect the kids to be reading at level 2 by the end of January, and at level 4 by the end of the school year. She said he's at least level 12, which is the highest level they are allowed to test at in Kindergarten. We were pretty proud of that. At the start of the year, they sent home a reading program that is online called Raz Kids. He started out very motivated doing the reading and quizzes very quickly. Although, he kinda burned out on them as they got harder, but is somewhere near the last of the first grade levels (Level J). We don't want to push him too hard so that he doesn't like to read, so we are having him read paper books to us at night again, like he was doing in pre-school. We started the Complete Collection of Curious George a few days ago, and hope this helps getting him to enjoy reading again. One of his Christmas gifts this year was a new tablet because his old cheap one fizzled out just after a year of use, but unfortunately he has become very hooked on his games lately. Somehow we will need to encourage more reading and playing with toys and less game time. I think having warmer weather soon will help, I think everyone is getting a little stir crazy this winter. At his 6 year check up (12-10-13) we actually started to see a new Dr. that is closer to home. Her name is Dr. Vargo, and so far we really like her. His weight is 43.4 lbs. (35%), Height 3 ft. 8.5 in (31%).

He is such a sweetheart. I think he will be excited to be able to be outside playing again too.
