{Mr. Competitive}



When Ethan started Kindergarten this year I was a little worried that full-day would be hard for him, he loves to run and play and I didn't know how sitting so much would be for him. Well he LOVES school and is in tears whenever he has to miss a day for a vacation or doctor appointment. If you know Ethan, than you know he is very competitive when it comes to sports. Luckily he has been on winning teams so far in his little sport career because he doesn't take losing well (we are working on that!) . His competitive nature also transfers over to homework.

His class has a new teacher for the last month of school and she started having them do homework. Each Monday she sends home a packet with several pages to complete and turn in on Friday, as well as a reading log. He insists on completed the entire packet and reading log that same day, and turning it in the following day. His teacher has started giving him extra packets, which he loves. I never would have guessed that Ethan would be begging to stay up late and do homework in his bed! The funniest moment was last week when Ethan went to play at his friend Caviston's house, and Ethan took his homework packet so they could do homework together instead of playing. So funny.

Pretty soon all of his friend's moms are going to be begging you to let Ethan come over and "play". Go Ethan!

That is so cute! Lydia did tell me that Ethan turns in his homework the very next day! What a great habit to start! I hope for you it continues!
