He'll be 6 on the 30th. He's doing great in school and he loves it. He is supposed to be tested for the gifted program at the end of the month. The other day he came home from school with 2 certificates. He received one for memorizing and reciting all 300 sight words. The other was the "Super Sport" award from PE. I asked him what he did to receive it (he's not the sportiest kid in the world LOL) and he said he got it for helping another child up when they fell down during a game at PE. He just finished his soccer season and I was very proud of him. He received a trophy and even scored 2 goals this season. Most importantly, he really enjoyed it and wants to play again. He's such a nice kid, sensitive, and very bright.
On St Patrick's day, I made the usual corned beef and cabbage for dinner and we had some friends over. Earlier that day I went and picked up a used bike that I found on craigslist. Tre's 12 inch bike was entirely too small for him so I figured we would get him a new one for his birthday. I left it in the trunk of the car and figured I would wait for Greg to get home so we could give it to him together. After dinner Tre said he wanted to go outside and ride his bike so Greg and I figured we would give it to him early. We popped the trunk of the car and Tre looked inside. "A new bike!" Then he looked at me with big eyes in all seriousness and said, "The leprechaun brought it!" I couldn't help but laugh. They was no way I was going to play into it and get stuck buying toys from the leprechauns every year on St Patrick's Day, so we told him the truth. He wasn't disappointed though. I got a big hug and a thank you. Now only if I could get him to ride the darn thing, that would be good.

Tre sounds like a great kid! Tyson's class had a leprechaun in their classroom all last week making all kinds of messes and they even set a trap for it. He then blamed everything weird that happened at home on that leprechaun. So funny. Thanks for the garden link. That was the very one my neighbor meant to give me and she sent me an email Monday night with the correct info. I have my garden plotted out. I'm just afraid of overplanting, I don't want stuff to go to waste!
