Before the school year started, I wondered how Ethan would do with full day Kindergarten. He was 5-1/2, and very excited to start, but as moms do I worried a little! From day one he has *loved* school. If he ever has to miss a day due to a family vacation or illness he is in tears worrying about what fun things he is missing out on. I'm sure it helps that he has a class full of friends from church and the neighborhood, and a fabulous teacher who makes everything so much fun. Today he came home with a large paper, it was full of numbers on the front and back side. Today they had been writing their numbers, going as high as they could go. He told me his teacher said he could work on it most of the day if he wanted, so work away he did. In between dinner and basketball practice tonight, and even before bed he has kept writing his numbers. at 8:45pm (he begged to stay up late) he is at number 574. He wants to get to 1,000. Go Ethan Go!

Thats so funny that you posted this I just took a video of Caviston and his numbers. He has been doing his numbers for a while and was so excited today when he came home and told me that Ethan started to do it with him:-) Such smart boys they are.
That is AWESOME!! I remember giving that assignment to my students. I loved watching them write their numbers. My favorite was when they would write 201 instead of 21. (twenty-one, get it?) :)
That single minded boy is going to go far...at least as far as he can count.
Oh my goodness. That is awesome. What a little smarty pants. I'm way impressed!
I can totally appreciate this with Wes! Great job...a fun idea!
Way to go Ethan!! Reach for the stars buddy! He's not even mine & yet I find myself so proud of him!
THat is so cute! That is excatly how Cadence is! We offered her a day in the snow last week and told her wewould take her out of school. She said I don't want to miss school. She told us to just take Brady. We over rided thatchoice and took her anyway...only to be set up for dissapointment when the snow had already melted when we got there. She looked at both of us and said see mom this is why we shouldn't lie and say I'm sick and miss school! :) Gotta love your honest five year old!
aw! I love Ethan!
Go Ethan! Isn't it nice to have a kid that *Loves* school! My kindergartener is the same way...she can't get enough! Let's pray it stays that way :)
How cute!
That is great that his super competitiveness carries over into school too :) What a smarty.
