My two favorite boys in the world are both excellent students.
Of course, Jackson's course load is a little lighter than Steven's.
Tonight was Jackson's first open house. We got to go to his classroom and see all the great projects he's been working on this year. They turned their classroom into a jungle! Guess who the monkeys were?? I wish I took a picture... the teachers put the kids' pictures on monkey bodies, and used their hand prints to make hands and feet. Too cute!!!
Jackson loves his teachers, Miss Lisa and Miss Lara, so so so so much! He talks about them all the time and even lets Miss Lisa rub his back when he takes a nap - not even Mommy is allowed to do that! He will definitely miss being in their class next year.
After Jackson's open house, Steven's parents took us out to dinner to celebrate some really exciting news our family received this week. News we've been waiting months and months to hear.
Back in December, Steven applied to a PhD program at UTD (The University of Texas at Dallas). The chances he would make it were slim - he hasn't completed his Bachelor's degree yet (graduates in August) and therefore, doesn't have a master's degree either. And even though his grades are outstanding (3.8 on a 4.0 scale), his GRE score wasn't as strong. Even still, he applied to the program and we just waited. And waited. And waited...
On Wednesday Steven found out that he was one of 12 students admitted to the program. Over 200 (!!!) people applied.
We are so proud of our smarty-pants Daddy.
