Middle School!!!!

 Last week Ashton began his new adventure at New Market Middle School.  He has been super excited about the change!  I am excited for him. I hope he makes lots of new friends and enjoys having many different teachers and being able to move more often from class to class.

I've also noticed in his backpack some of his first week of school get-to-know-you/self-concept/identity papers that have come home.  This one cracked me up.  He does have a lot of brothers and sisters so that is so awesome that he takes ownership of that, but he said he has 13 siblings-10 sisters and 3 brothers.  As of today, he has 11 siblings-6 brothers and 5 sisters!

I also must say how impressed I am with Ashton's building skills.  Once again without any help from Olav or me, he put together his IKEA bookshelf and put together the new module dresser I bought him.  He really is amazing!  I really do wonder how he will put these skills to good use in the future.
