Claire is still a little fireball. She’s very emotional and loud and still throws a fit about eating food she doesn’t like. But she is also definitely getting better. She has started to show an interest in words and reading and asks what every sign says. Although she can be quite difficult she is also always the first child to say thank you for special treats and outings.

Will struggles with doing school things he isn’t interested in but is slowly coming along in reading. He is still very creative and loves making little creations out of office supplies. Although he lacks some motivation he can work very hard on projects that he comes up with. He loves to meticulously copy words from books and can build any Lego set with instructions. He’s also very creative with the Lego machines he creates on his own.

Ruth, as always, is more mature than her years. Since leaving California she has missed the social scene she had and has enjoyed our outings to Albuquerque so much. She is friendly and easily strikes up conversations with other kids and adults. She’s trying her hardest to be mature and grown up and ends up being bossy too often. But she is bright knows how to work hard. I'm sure she will be a great leader one day.
