Holy guacamole, he looks so grown up in this picture. And very handsome! He has such a great smile, that boy of mine.
So far this year has been great. Afton has made some new friends and is learning lots of new things. He has homework that has to complete each week. It is filled with fun activities (like making play dough), coordination tasks (like walking backwards from the kitchen to his room), simple questions (like how do you get to school), and reading (which we do every day). He is much better at remembering what he did at school this year. When I ask him how his day was he usually has an answer rather than the standard from last year, "I don't know." He really likes centers because they do art projects, and of course he always tells me about what he did at recess (usually swings and "running with my friends."). He can recall most of the kids in his class now and tells me about who he talks to and who he likes doing certain things with. For example, he likes making funny faces with Autumn, playing Pokemon with Nathan, and finding rolly pollies with Brody and Seth. He has been to time out a couple of times already. Mainly it is for talking and sometime for not wanting to participate. One of the mom helpers in class told me that one day he said he didn't want to look at one of the items someone brought in for share day because it was a Barbie Doll...."those are for girls," he said.
