One proud Mommy

Today, Colin was given his first bucket award (I guess that's what it's called???). Each kid is given stars every time they are seen being exceptionally nice, polite, etc. in school to put in their bucket. After "x" amount of stars, they get a little award, empty their bucket, and start over. Today Colin filled his for the first time since starting Kindergarten. I was one proud Mommy to see that in his folder!

Overall he's doing great in Kindergarten. He has already declared gym is his favorite - such a boy! He's getting closer and closer to reading on his own. He can manage most level 1 books, but still needs help from time to time. He has weekly homework packets he is to complete, and so far, he loves doing them, which I know will change in the near future. He's playing soccer and is unbelievably awesome at it. His last game, I can't even remember how many times he stole the ball and took it down the field. He's got some talent, that's for sure!

Jackson's a spitfire, as usual. Rarely does he sit still for longer than 10 minutes, although he's a sucker for watching the Fresh Beat Band and Dino Dan on Nick Jr. But the energy he has is unreal. He just never stops! He likes to be a stinker and declares himself a "fricken nut" frequently, and he's mastering back talking to me... OY! He has quite a temper, but is always quick to apologize. He's a typical younger brother and is definitely rougher than his big bro. But in the same respect, he's a complete Mommy's boy and pulls all the dramatics out for me. Not to mention, he is absolutely hilarious. And he's still a cuddler, which I love!
