It's been four months since we've moved into our new home, and good timing too! Baby Tennyson #4, another little boy, arrived just over a week ago. Choosing a name this time wasn't as easy as it was for the twins; Jack insisted on using the name Henry to honor his grandfather, who recently passed away. I liked the idea, but unfortunately, I didn't like the name. We eventually compromised and ended up using Henry as the middle name, and since that was Jack's choice, I got to choose the first name. I settled on Liam, which I've loved for a long time and finally got Jack to admit to liking as well.
Emma loves school and interacting with all of her friends, but she's had some trouble keeping up with her peers in her reading abilities. This was definitely news to Jack and me, since Emma loves reading out loud at home, to us or to her brothers. The teacher called us in to discuss the matter. Emma was there as well, and after twenty minutes of us throwing around all possible reasons for her trouble, she admitted that she doesn't like other people to see her mess up. We then spent the next twenty minutes trying to persuade her that the other kids wouldn't make fun of her, but by that time she'd lost interest and was solely focused on getting back home to play. I guess we'll have to work on that reading thing bit by bit.
