Ignacio

My Angel Ignacio. My heart. Ignacio is doing so well. He continues to be bright and beautiful. His habit of waking up between 530 and 630 in the morning is really paying off now that school is started. He is up early to take a shower and is ready for the day. This all occurs usually before any of us are even up! Angel takes him to school every morning and they really enjoy their time together even though the school is only four blocks away. At school conferences the teacher said that Ignacio is already meeting the academic goals for May. While most kids are learning their vowels, Ignacio is already reading books. The teacher's working to make him a leader while in big groups and then giving him special work to make sure he's challenged. We don't want this little boy to get bored! 

What's even more special is watching him become a big brother all over again. He loves Santiago and Santiago really loves Ignacio! Both really light up when they see each other!! I love watching the magic happen. His relationship with Emilio continues to be strong and I think we have turned the corner since starting school. He was coming home pretty tired and moody and taking it out on little Emilio but things have been better the last couple of weeks. Ignacio had a lot of changes in a short amount of time but he seems to be handling it well. 

And, to top it all off, my little boy, my firstborn will be six years old November 29th!!! I can hardly believe it. What a beautiful blessing he has been to our lives.
