Writing

Writing hasn't come easy for this little boy.  I tried to help him long before preschool started, but he just didn't have the patience or desire to do it.  He's been in school for about 2 months now and this is how he writes his name. All on his own!  I was pretty excited.  This is BIG!  One of the only things I couldn't teach him.  It was really the main thing I hoped preschool would be able to help him with.   And he's got it!!

Just a couple weeks ago I went to pick him up at school and his teacher told me he is very ready to start learning to read!  He's got rhyming down pretty good and sounds out simple words.  He asks us to help him read all the time!  He's really excited about it and loves when he gets words right.

This boy has an amazing memory!  Nate taught him that there are 3 bones in your ears.  Inkus, Malice, and Stapes(spelling is probably way off).  He was told if he could remember them the next day he could have a dollar.  Sure enough this boy remembered them and still does.  

The other day while driving in the car we were talking about something and from way in the back Gracen says, "I have a hypothesis about that!"  He used the word right and even knew what it meant!  He has such an excitement for learning new things and remembers them well!
