Food FIGHT!

Ahh . . . Learning! We are so excited for all the things that Big E is learning in Kindergarten. His reading has improved greatly and he tries to read everything in sight! He's learned to tie his shoes, tuck in his shirt and put on a belt. He's learned some new songs, new things in art and new ways to move his body. He is sorting, recognizing patterns, recognizing new sounds and just improving in all the areas he already knew.



And then there is the social learning that is taking place. Oh, that is my favorite part. Remember the "do you want a piece of me" incident in week 2. Well, we've topped that one now . . . with a Food Fight! Even his teacher is surprised b/c this is not something that Big E would do. Big E's involvement was spitting his milk through his straw at people. I'm SOOOO proud! Needless to say, Big E was quite disapointed with the consequences of his actions.



I love the learning of Kindergarten!

I'm getting the hang of this . . .

Okay. I have been in the dark ages apparently when it comes to the world of blogging.

Friends are posting comments . . . how do I know when they do that?
. . . and how do they know I posted something anyway?
. . . and how do I know when they post something?

I'm sure there is a lot more to learn, but I think I have the basics now CHECK, CHECK and CHECK.

I now will receive an e-mail to let me know I have a comment.
I now know how friends know when I post AND I receive "feeds" when they post.

WOW! I feel so enlightened.

Special K's Off to School

Well, Special K's school is back in session. He is thrilled to say he is in the Yellow Room! He was so happy to go back! Mommy was happy too. . . for Special K. She felt a twinge of sadness as she walked around the mall soliciting for the Silent Auction and seeing all the mommies with their kids (just a twinge). Special K has been ready since Big E's second week of Kindergarten.
