Well, ds is thrilled. He earned a ribbon in Original Oratory at the tournament yesterday afternoon. He has been working on it, but his true love is policy debate so he's been mainly focused on that.
I was very proud of him. He's doing quite well for a kid in his first year of speech/debate. I'm even more pleased because he's also doing good work in his classes. His Spanish teacher wants him to join the Spanish honor society next year...
Dd, well, she's also quite busy... this week she has confirmation today, dance practice on Thursday, a girls' night out cookie baking exchange on Friday, dress rehearsal on Saturday a.m., sleepover on Saturday night, and performance Sunday evening. Let me just say... I find this whole thing exhausting.
Both children have semester tests coming up and are anxious about them. I'm confident that they'll be fine... but fear can be a powerful motivator and studying never hurt anyone. Well, at least not more than a papercut.
