Jett: Our Big Boy

Jett amazes me more and more every day. He is just too big! He is loving morning assembly. Yesterday he was showing some school spirit singing the "Mighty Mighty Tigers" song. He said that they also sing the "Purple Mountains" song:) Jett was so surprised when his Daddy and I started singing America the Beautiful. As I was reviewing the bulletin for his class, Jett asked me what it said. I read the things they were going to work on this week. He stopped me after I said nouns. He then explained what a noun was. I love that he is so proud! We got Jett's first progress report Friday. He got 100's in everything! I'm still shocked that kindergarten gets grades, but I knew we had a smart cookie:) Jett got a Tiger Paw again yesterday. As far as I can tell, these awards are given for being a good listener. This is his second time in less than a month. He really likes getting a prize from the Principal's office. We are so proud of our big boy!

Pop and Polly came to visit last weekend for Daddy's birthday. The boys really enjoyed their time with them and are always sad when they leave. The boys and I did cupcakes and gifts with Daddy on Monday. They were so proud of the card they made! We had our second soccer practice last night. It still looks pretty rough, but I think Jett was a little more aggressive last night and whined a little less:) The boys love that Daddy is their coach!

Progress report. Sorry for the bad pic.

Such a good sentence!

Loving Kindergarten!

Jett is really enjoying kindergarten! He is loving all the new songs! I've heard songs about rhyming, days of the week, and community helpers. He has learned some sight words and is reading short sentences. He does some amazing coloring! He also likes math and the books they've been reading. I will say that Jett has not slept in his room since they read There's An Alligator Under My Bed. It's a good thing that Ace has an extra bed in his room:)

After the first week of school, we had a little break for Labor Day. The boys and I went to Houston to see G and Opa...getting to swim was just a bonus:) We had a great time! The boys swam every day, and we experienced Jumping World for the first time. I had some tired boys after that hour! We have been to our first Lions football game complete with bounce houses, parachuters, and fireworks. We have now been to 2 Lion soccer games. Jett loved playing with Sophie! Last Friday was grandparents day. Jett wanted all of his grandparents and great grandparents to enjoy his artwork! Maybe one day we can get plan ahead and have a grandparent come to school lunch on that day:)
