Total Tyler Bragging

a) Nathan had a father's interview this weekend with Tyler and one of the questions was, "What is one of your favorite things about yourself?" It took Tyler a long while to answer. He said this question made him feel uncomfortable. He feels embarrassed to give compliments to himself. But he finally answered that he can be kind to others, (and told a story about a new girl in his class that "always sat with her head down and had no friends"...he went up to her and told her he would be her friend) and also that he can "stop bullies from being mean to kids". That kid is pure heart. Makes me love him so much. And Nathan for getting him to tell us.

b) During Tyler's parent-teacher conference I was told he is what teachers call a "diamond". He's easily ahead of 4th grade and should be taking A.P. classes in junior high, college classes in high school, and "should graduate high school a junior in college". Then I got a call from his teacher last night who said he received a 100% on a math test that is basically unheard of. The teacher said when something outstanding like that happens, he tries to call the parents.

c) Plus he just won the Superbowl in football last Saturday! :)

What a kid. Gotta remember all this when he's annoying his sisters and being a slob with all his clothes on the bathroom floor.
