Students of the Month

#1 Larsen Student of the Month 

Autumn was Student of the Month at school.  Her teacher said that she is one of the most responsible and helpful little kindergartners she has.  Mrs. Schmit said that she loves how Autumn is always ready to go, ready to learn!  Autumn is loving school!  She loves her teacher, reading, PE, art, music, recess, Zero the Hero, math sentences, friends, lunch and even homework.  When she gets home she is trying to read everything in site and writes math sentences and words on any and every notebook she can find. 

You rock Autumn!

With Autumn learning to read we have gotten out many of our 'first reader' books.  My favorites are The Critter series.  We have read through them with Autumn many, many times.  Well, the other day Bruce decided that he can read too.  He found a book and proceeded to recite every sentence, on the correct page of the 32 page book.  It was amazing!  Sentences like 'My kitty messes up Mom's knitting and she spills the trash with a loud, loud crash."  I decided that we better start reading some OTHER books or this kid is   going to start reading soon.  Isaac said "what do you guys do ALL day, read these books."  Well, no Bruce and I did haul 500lbs of rock to make new flower beds this week, but yes we have been reading a lot.

You rock Bruce!

I am so pleased that little man Dryan is maturing into a helpful young man.  Just this week he has helped outside moving rocks with Bruce and I.  Usually he is doing his own thing in the yard on the trampoline or picking green tomatoes or riding the dogs or climbing the 15ft high wood fence.  I was overwhelmed with happiness when he started filling up the wagon with rocks.  By the end of the day he was sweating and so tired he begged to go take a nap.  Dryan even stayed out and helped dig holes to plant bulbs.  He has also started cleaning up.  He loves to go fast and throw the toys in the baskets, but I am not complaining its the start of three good cleaners in the house. Dryan has also picked up more words this month.  His expressions behind the words still make me giggle!

You rock Dryan!

#4 Larsen Student of the Month

Our sweet Remington is the love of all our lives.  Everyone is just so attracted to his fun, smiling personality.  He loves people!  He will smile even when he is tried or hungry.  He gets student of the month because without my help he has been sleeping through the night.  I say without my help because after about three weeks of sleeping through the night I was thinking I should do some sleep training.  Then I quickly learned he already knew what to do.  I have never, NEVER had a baby this young sleep through the night so routinely without a little 'crying it out'. Remington is getting so excited about toys or just about anything in front of him, it is soooo fun!

You rock Remi!
