In classic Kylie fashion, she came home as Knight of the Week on the second week of school. Her friend Katie was chosen the first week, which Kylie said "made her being chosen second ok" =). I'm always amazed at this girls GOODNESS! I am so proud of her ability to respect, listen, and act in a way that's appreciated. I wish I could take some credit, but really, she was born that good. It's my job to not screw that up....tough order if you know me =)
Just a quick random shot of Newie. I love this picture because it seems like such a private moment you're witnessing.
My big man has been all about dad the last couple months. It doesn't matter if dad is using the wet saw outside of cooking dinner inside, beck is always right next to him. his teacher always comments that he's a great helper in class.
We're about halfway through our insect/bug lessons...i'm less than thrilled with my planning on this one. Some of the activities have been fun, many were just so ambitious in nature i never actually tried tackling them. The idea of wrapping a kid in toilet paper to teach the concept of a cocoon sounds fun....it also sound messy, and wasteful and when push came to shove, I chickened out....
But in all seriousness, I oftentimes get frustrated with trying to teach Beck. He seems so uninterested and unreceptive. He's certainly not my little kylie. Ky was super smart, super quick, and LOVED learning. Plus, she's a girl, putting her one step ahead of males everywhere when it comes to readiness to do anything.
However, just the other day I sat and watched beck put together an Alphabet puzzle. I was amazed when he knew a good half of the letters. Now, if I asked him myself, he wouldn't answer...or answer with some random letter without even glancing at what i was pointing at. so maybe my teaching isn't a lost cause after all....
Ky in her new Firecrackers uniform. She's fitting in so well with her new team and actually scored her first goal as a firecracker in their second game of the season!
