A New Year’s Resolution and Wish

December 31, 2017 By Rene

I like to ask Jackson about his new year’s resolutions each year. This year’s surprised me! Jackson, do you have any resolutions? “I think I might try going nut-free.

Jackson wins regional Japanese language contest

February 27, 2017 By Rene

Jackson competed two weeks ago in our city’s Japanese language contest and WON FIRST PLACE for the THIRD YEAR IN A ROW! I marvel at how much progress he has made from the first to the third year in his ability to wait, his ability to not walk in and out of the room and […]
