Today I'm one of the spotlight bloggers! I posted a super simple to follow Infant Sleep Guide that you can read here :) Carrie at Wiley Adventures is also the spotlight blogger today and she's talking about a subject that I get questions about all the time .

I was very, very honored with our pediatrician's office asked me to write up both a newborn sleep guide as well as one for infants.

Kye had a GREAT year in kindergarten but I especially saw a big change in him during the spring. Everything with reading just CLICKED with him and we have a 100% reader! He loves to read and is very good at it. I know he'll continue to blossom in 1st grade this fall! His class gave out midterm reports as well as a final report card. He did great in all areas and we are so proud of him. But of course we are the most proud about his behavior and his representation of Christ.

He went to yellow (which is one step down from where he should be each day) and it was something where we felt he a...
