Sometimes I have to wonder, just who is educating who here?

Honestly, my children are smart. One very smart and very open to sharing just how smart he is, the other, trying hard to keep you from even remotely hearing him count or identify his colors. And behavior? One talks a lot, he gets in trouble at school for talking and we routinely have to keep him check. The other one, he is going to be quite a different variety of student.

When asked questions in groups, (like Sunday School), he answers the teachers questions by retorting, “Walker will tell you.” Yet when approached by his basketball coach that he had never met, he introduced himself as if he was grown. I guess since I was across the gym sitting, he saw no way of hiding behind my legs with his head wedged up my backside. He just answered and acted as if he had never been a bit shy in his life.

We are approaching the midway point of the school year. Two full days, three half days and then 2 and half weeks out. And then, one short semester later, I’ll be enrolling that tiny little munchkin and sadly, he won’t have the luxury of saying “Walker will tell you”. And to be honest, I fear I’m going to need a seat somewhere near his classroom so I can make sure he understands that rule are meant to be followed As the baby, and the baby of an older brother who has always pampered and coddled him, this kid could have an extremely difficult time.
