Carter B

I was working on the computer at the table and looked over and saw Carter coloring and writing away. I took a few pictures without him knowing! He looked so precious!


I noticed I hadn't had any posts on Carter lately and I surely don't want him to feel left out. He is loving every minute of school. He wakes up ready to go and is still excited when he gets home. I was a little nervous how he would adjust to all day kindergarten but I had nothing to fret. He also made a big transition this year.....wait for it....he sleeps in his own bed!!! Almost all of last year he slept with Adessa in the bottom bunk or occasionally on the top bunk but if he ever started in his bed, he ended up in hers. It worked because I didn't want to fight it and I figured it wasn't hurting anything. But then he slept with us off and on a few nights....that changed my mind. He is a WILD MAN when he sleeps. Toss..turn...kick....turn...blanket...no blanket...get the picture. So I figured Dess couldn't be getting the greatest sleep. He got a full size bed right before school started we talked it all up, I bribed him for the first few nights (he earned a few dollars) and it is history. I also think it doesn't hurt that he gets up at 6:30am goes to school all day, works hard, plays hard, and is just plain exhausted by bed time at 8pm. He is also eating better.
Carter is learning a ton. He is so in to spelling everything, writing his letters, teaching me words in Spanish, showing me how high he can count, and all his interesting facts that "Mrs. Tillett" tells him. I think she could tell him he had brown hair and he would believe her! She is such an awesome teacher. I think it is amazing how much these little minds soak up and how much they trust every word we say and everything we do. I am so glad for the great teachers and examples we have in our lives..friends, neighbors, family! I love my little family and all they are learning (except perhaps 7th grade math!...my brain has forgot how to do a lot of that!) I can't wait to see what they are doing at parent teacher conference in a few weeks!
