Conferences

We had conferences with the twins' teachers this week. Everything went fine. Emma, we found, is a great helper to the teacher, and she's very strong in math. Gavin is also doing well- very serious about his books and gets deeply involved in class discussions.

Gavin's teacher told me about an experiment they were doing, in which they tested what happens to different items after being soaked in Dr. Pepper and Diet Dr. Pepper. The teacher suggested that they try a different version of the experiment at home. Not trying to be a wise guy, Gavin raised his hand and said, "We don't have soda at home, but can I try it with beer?"
