Kason tells me about school




Finally! I've been waiting for the day that Kason really tells me about school. Not just about who he played with that day and that he loves chapel the most. Usually, I ask him about his day and he says, "Shhh...it's a secret" in a hushed voice. After a little coaxing, he will tell me he played with Abe, Nathan, Carter, Chase, Marcella, Mallory, etc., etc., but that's usually the extent of it.

But, finally, he told me all about school and doesn't want to stop. He loves to have a job at school and it seems there are LOTS of jobs (i.e., weather helper, line leader, door holder, snack helper,...), so he gets to do one often. He learns about Jesus, science and Spanish, sings the days of the week, and tells me all about the behavior chart. Blue = a super exciting day, Green = an exciting day, Yellow = "Whoa! Slow down! You're making bad choices!" (that is in his exact words), and Red = a trip to the office. We even made a behavior chart at home because he loves it so much. He tells me who has to move to yellow each day (he's never been on yellow or red) and says nobody ever gets to be on blue. They start on green and most stay there each day. He said, "Mommy, I really want to be on blue.". So, on Tuesday, he says he's going to ask his teacher what he can do to be able to move his card to blue. So cute!

I love my little guy and am so happy he loves school! I see him growing into a big boy more and more each day and it's exciting and sad all in the same breath.
