The boy done good...

Am so so proud of Mr Moo. He's always done well at certain things, from a very early age; communication is the main one and this has translated into being communicated to - i.e. reading. A couple of months before his 6th birthday he was tested and told he had a reading age of 10, and we are currently having problems finding books challenging enough for him technically but relevant enough for his mind to grasp! His teachers love him, he seems to be known by staff throughout the school who have never taught him and he always gets glowing reports. Wonder boy indeed!

We were especially proud of him last week, and he had a stonking day to remember. Not only was it his class assembly (I *might* have skived off work to attend) in which he played several parts, but he was also awarded a Governors certificate for achieving 20 merits, the only child in his class this year to do so. He was also class-leader that day, which meant that he got to bring Fluffy the class mascot home for the weekend. And just to top all this off nicely, it was also his birthday!

The day ended really well, with 2 grandparents coming down to take him out for tea - pizza of course! And then cake and staying up late, to say nothing of some fabulous presents. Shame his little sister couldn't behave half as well as him, but that's a whole other blogging topic - anyone heard of a 3 year old trying to sleep in a wardrobe???
