Preschool Graduation

Imogene is so excited for Kindergarten next year.

Imogene attended Miss Cody's Preschool. Miss Cody teaches out of her home and has two four year old classes and a three year old class. Imogene learned to write her name and all the letters of the alphabet and can count to 20.

Boys, Boys, Boys

This year for carpool, I am driving Xander and two other boys. Can I just say: WOW boys are so much different!

Last year I picked up two girls and it took so long just to get them to start talking, and they were always pretty quiet. With three boys, on the first day they were having loud animated discussions, by the second week, they spent one drive making fart noises and another day they took turns coming  up with gross food combinations. They have discussed transformers, movies, and video games.

Last year we had Xander in 2nd grade, Tay in 3rd, and Clo in 5th.  We listened to five of the Harry Potter books during the rides to and from school. This year with two first graders and one third grader, I haven't come up with a great book to listen to yet. Plus it is a lot of fun to listen to three boys.   

The Amazing Adventures

Xander has been asking since he set up his blog for it to be public, so with some strict rules, his blog can now be viewed by any of you who would like to see it. He writes about his school projects and anything else he is thinking about, so feel free to check him out. (in the side bar: The Amazing Adventures of Xander

I have been scanning in Xander's artwork to add to his blog (if you want access, e-mail me or fill out the contact form and he will "invite" you) and I just loved this self portrait. It's funny to me because he so rarely spikes his hair, but that is how he always draws himself.
