1st day of 2nd grade

Kindergarten graduation

"Her Daddy couldn't be here for kindergarten graduation because he was killed 3 days ago in the line of duty. So her Phoenix Police family showed up and lined the walkway, cheering on Tatum Raetz, who managed to smile... even for a little."

This was at Wyatt's school, and was beautiful and touching. 













And then of course there was the reason I was there...


One of the officers let Wyatt wear his hat:

Super math student!

Yowwipop

Today, the older kids at Wyatt's school were selling candy, so he asked if he could have some money to buy some. I gave him a dollar's worth of quarters, and he said "Can I have another dollar so I can have two fings?" So I gave him another dollar, and he went off to school with 8 quarters in his pocket.

The moment he ran off, I thought "Oh man, I should have told him that if he wanted to, he could share his money with someone who didn't bring any. Oh well... next time."

So when I got home, I asked him if he bought candy. He said yes, he bought a lollipop (yowwipop) for 50 cents.

I asked what he did with the rest of his money and he said...

"I gave it to McKenzie and Lucy because they didn't have any money."

My heart just melted. I guess he didn't need my reminder after all. ♥

Wyatt and I on our bike, ready to ride to school!

Student of the month!

Wyatt was student of the month for October. :)

First report card

"Wyatt got his first report card today. He got all Satisfactory, except a Needs Improvement in holding his pencil, and a Developing in being able to write all his upper and lower case letters.

He's excelling in math - doing 1st grade math with a group of kids in his class who are too advanced for the Kindy math. And of course, he knows all his shapes/colors (and has for a few years).

He got an Excelling in PE. (LOL).

The note from his teacher is nice too. I don't have it in front of me but it talks about how Wyatt is always respectful, works hard, and is a joy to have in her class. She says in the 43 days he has been in Kindy, he has come really far. I am proud of him!"

Punkin

"When I picked Wyatt up from after-care, I asked him "You ready, punkin?"
Another little Kindy boy said "PUNKIN?!?!?!"
I laughed... "Yes, he's my punkin. Doesn't your mommy or daddy call you any cute names like 'sweetheart' or 'cutie'? Well, Wyatt is my punkin."
So a few days later I go in to get Wyatt, and say "Are you ready, punkin?"
And the same little boy says "PUNKIN!?!?!"
I said "Yep... he's still my punkin!"
So today, I walked in, and before I said anything, the boy looked at me and asked...
"Is he still your punkin?"
I laughed and said "Yep, he's still my punkin."

Just thought it was cute. :)"
