It was a big day for Libby today. She was named Student of the Month for April/May in her class, for her excellent writing and math skills. She was so proud of herself, and so she should be, she works very hard in school. Of course, this is also the child who is excited about her upcoming grade 3 Ontario Provincial testing. They get to use special pencils you know. And it's multiple choice, that means you get to choose the answer from different choices. You don't say. You'd think they didn't have tests, "back then" when I went to school. If only it her brother was as enthusiastic. Do you think it might rub off on him? Not likely, I know. He wrote his math test today, hopefully he passed. And he has another one next week, which means I'll be subjected to another painful study session.
So, I finally took Katty to the doctor today. That cough just won't go away and is driving us both crazy. I'm glad I took her in, poor little thing has pneumonia, or as she say "pamonia". No wonder she was feeling so wretched. She finally has an excuse for her rotten behaviour. Not sure what her excuse is for the rest of the time, but knowing her, she'll come up with something.
