Ever year, the week before LEAP testing at Gillis Elementary, the kids are encouraged to dress up for Nerd Day.
The school wants the kids to know that it is okay to be smart, to want to work hard in school, and to make good grades and high scores on their testing.
Jackson was reluctant to dress up for Nerd Day at school today. He did not know what a nerd was,
so I explained to him that a nerd is someone who loves learning and enjoys certain subjects and activities.
We are all nerds, just about different things.
We discovered that our family is incredibly nerdy, each person loving many different things.
Jackson loves science, especially space and planets, soccer, drawing and coloring,
math, grilled cheese sandwiches, everything about The Wiggles, and watching movies in French.
Ethan is nerdy about soccer, the color orange, science, math, social studies, swimming, roller skating,
sunflower seeds, reading, and mint chocolate chip ice cream.
Savannah loves doing hair, Taylor Swift, reading, frozen yogurt, cooking, eating, David Archuleta,
finding modest outfits, Beyond 5, hanging with friends, Pintrest, American History, Seminary, and baking.
Holden likes coloring, reading books, yogurt, Jake and the Neverland Pirates, playing at the park, chesse, wrestling, Yo Gabba Gabba, cookies, and taking baths.
Melinda is the biggest nerd who loves to cook and try new recipes, read, sleep, cheer for her kids, go to lunch with her friends, learn and speak in sign language, and listen to music and sing at the top of her lungs.
Tristan is nerdy because he loves wrestling, drawing, music, band, swimming, wear bow ties, maps, Hunter Hayes, learning new instruments, tying knots, roller skating, and Rick Riordan books.
Allen loves math and science, licorice, movies, watching the news, sushi, human anatomy,
listening to talk radio, and camping.
We are all passionate about different things.
Following our passions and discovering our talents is important, but also fun!
Here's to being a NERD!!
