Happy Holidays!

We just got our hands on the holiday pictures taken at Adam's school. I really wanted him to have a tie to wear, so the night before I was frantically running from store to store when I found this adorable outfit for $15! It was worth the extra stress once I saw these pictures, we hope you like them as much as we do! What a handsome boy!

Parent Teacher Conferences

Earlier this week we had conferences with Adam's teacher, Miss Kelsey. I don't think we learned anything new or surprising, but it was nice to see and hear what the teacher thought of Adam, his learning abilities and social behaviors. All in all, she didn't say anything we disagreed with.

Adam was also given a little test - and he did very well.

She layed out a pile of crayons and asked Adam to pick out certain colors. He thought a pink was red at first, but other then that he got all of them right (I think there were 9).

He was shown letters of the alphaebt out of order, both uppercase and lower case and asked to identify them. He thought that the lowercase q was a p, but that's understandable!

He was asked to count as high as he could, he made it to 26. He also identified all numbers 1-10.

He was asked to identify a bunch of shapes, he got them all right!

He is also very good at patterns, matching and understanding "which has more."

We have a smart little man on our hands, he must take after daddy!

RIP Timbit

Adam's friend and first fish Timbit has left us for the big fish bowl in the sky. It was a very sad moment in our home as we explained to Adam that Timbit wasn't going to be able to swim anymore. 

We decided to take Adam out this weekend and buy him a new fish...he wants a blue one. 


The First Snow

The Journaling Reads: 
This morning you burst into our room and shared your excitement over the dusting of snow on the ground. Not because you liked the snow, but because you finally got to wear your new winter jacket. I’m not sure if it was the jacket or the scarf and mittens that put you over the top. But you were such a happy boy in your new yellow jacket, and construction hat, scarf and mitten set. So happy that you didn’t even need a morning treat.
