testing with confidence

this week drew has testing at school.

they've spent the past month prepping the kids

the students have been told to:

*make sure you eat a good breakfast

*make sure you get a good night's sleep

*make sure you wear comfortable clothes

and

*do your best

naturally,

drew made sure all of these things happened.

he's concerned these scores are going to affect the rest of his life ;)

stac and i even gotten out of bed early the past 2 mornings

to make a good breakfast -

apparently reeses puffs and cinnamon toast crunch don't count.

who knew???

while we were eating,

i wanted to see how he was feeling about it.

i asked if he was excited

which he was because they operate on a different schedule

i asked if he was nervous

to which he replied 'no, i'm just so good at this stuff'

THEN ...

he asked me how i did when i had testing in 3rd grade.

HA! 3rd grade.

sadly, i can remember my old friends' phone numbers -

but whether or not we even had testing??

not a chance!

i told him that i couldn't REALLY remember

but chances are i did really well in math and science

and

not quite so hot in reading/comprehension.

his immediate response was

'well see mom, i have nothing to worry about.

i'm already one step ahead.

i am great at math, science, AND reading.

so i TOTALLY have you beat'

and i thought he might be nervous.

HA!
