Report Card
It's report card time in the schools and even though I'm not teaching right now...I've got the itch. In true teacher fashion I thought I would do a little bit of a progress report for Eva. It's never too early to start assigning grades to your child's accomplishments ;)
Language Arts: Eva is quite a chatty girl, uttering phrases such as "Bah Bah Bah" and "Dah Dah Dah". I'm workin' on "Mah Mah Mah" with her....she hasn't caught on yet. She has forgotten about her pterodactyl squeal, but instead chooses to make noise by uttering "Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh", sounding a bit like a native singer at times. I think she really likes to hear her own voice and will do it the car while we are driving just to hear how the car vibrations change it.
Almost two months ago, we started teaching Eva baby sign language. We haven't made any progress yet. Steve and I do "All Done!" at the end of every meal or when she is whining to get out of her excersaucer. I also do "milk" with her every time I had her her bottle. I'm sticking with just these two for now until she starts to sign back. After that I will probably add "more" and "bed" to her repertoire.
Sign Language: B
Overall: -A
I think she will be crawling in no time.
Whiny-ness: D
Overall: B
Science: Eva is a working on a science experiment called "How Many Rolls Can a Baby's Leg Handle?". So far her hypothesis has proved 5 per leg (including back of the knee), but I think she's made a break through and is working on squeezing in the 6th.
Overall: A
('cuz they're just so dang cute!)
So overall, a pretty dang good report card. 'Atta girl Eva...All A's and B's! You're taking after your Momma.
*As I post this, Eva is in her jumperoo staring forlornly out the window, only glancing back to give me dirty looks. I don't think she's too happy about that D I gave her. Classic Eva dirty look:
"How could you give me a D Mommy?!"

Steve's Report Card for Eva:
Language Arts: Well seeing as "Bah" and "Gah" aren't real words, and her "sign language" is her parents waving her arms around...
Talking: C (Just for effort)
Sign Language: F (Cause you're not doing anything)
Physical Education???
What the frick? She sits, and eats. If she wants to move she just whines until you do it for her.
Phys. Ed: Freaking F--
Lazy girl!
Health:
Well, she's obese. Look at her science experiment. 5 rolls.
Health Grade: F
Social Studies:
Well, Eva doesn't know a damn thing about Canadian History. She couldn't even point to Canada on a World Map. How does she get an A?
S.S. Grade: D (Just because she can sing like a Native American and that's worth a couple points)
Home Ec:
I haven't even seen Eva open a package of food, much less cook anything. She hasn't boiled her own water, or baked her own cookies.
Home Ec.: F
Science:
If I can get 2nd place in my school for doing a "Fire" experiment, I guess this one is legit too.
Science: A+ (You can do it, I believe in you. You can get that 6th roll if you try hard enough!)
Overall: Failure
(Just kidding, I think she's the most wonderful and perfect human on the planet. Don't be offended, I'm just having fun.)
HA HA! I never thought to grade my kids report card style... how fun! I got a chuckle out of Daddys report above too! And LOVE the last pic of her, how stinkin cute!
Thanks! I wanted to do an update for my family, but thought this would be a lil more interesting to read :) And yes...somewhere along the way, her Daddy turned into a drill sergeant I guess.
