he loves to read...

all the time. My sweet little five year old can read so well already. These are some of his favorites.

morning suprise!

I walked into Brandon's room to find that he had made his bed all by himself for the very first time! I was so proud. He did it without help and without me asking. It looks great! Brandon says: "And it looks beautiful!"

first day of kindergarten

Brandon said: "I love my school because my cousin London is in my school! I love my cousins because Becca and Parker they love me. I am most excited to play the fish game. It has pads that you put the fishes on. It is a fun game. I love London."

Eager Learners!

Brandon and London had a great time at the meet-and-greet today.

First trip to the big kid school!

Brandon began his kindergarten adventure today. He and cousin London are set to begin their first year of "real school" on September 3rd! It is an exciting time for my little man and he can't wait to make new friends and learn new things. Today was a short 45min. introduction day, a chance for the students to see their school, the rooms, and meet the teachers and other students. The mommy's got to fill out information packets while the kids stayed in the classroom and explored their new territory. Before the parents left to do their "packet assignments," the Kindergarten teacher leading the little meeting asked the parents "Are their any questions before we get started?" My Brandon's hand was the only one raised. I looked at him thinking "what is he possibly going to ask?" What a brave little soul! He said "I have cousins...Becca, Parker and London. This is London." (pointing to his pal seated next to him) What a cutie pie he is! The teacher responded warmly with a smile asking "You two are cousins?" "Yep," came his reply. I just laughed a little and poked Wendy. She laughed too. This is going to be one exciting year!
