Can we say asking for trouble?

Yes, I have lost my mind. Drayton had a good week at school and somehow convinced me that he should get his Halloween Costume now. He's been wanting to be a red power ranger for over a year. And you have to admit, he looks great. Now, can someone please tell me how to keep him from kicking me?

Kindergarten

Ok So it took me a week to get to this. Sorry. Bad momma. Drayton had a rough week last week at Kindergarten. He doesn't like rules, he's opinionated, and outspoken. No idea where he gets it from. Today was a better day. We both like his teacher, Mrs. Felkins, quite a bit. So hopefully it will all work out. Here are some pictures from his first day of Kindergarten (8/20/07)

This was just inside the Kindergarten wing. No other pictures besides these two. He was checking everything else out so quickly he wouldn't stand still long enough to take any other pictures. School starts Monday! I'll let you know how it goes.

Elementary Here We Come

Friday, Aug. 20th, was meet and great day at Drayton's school. He is very excited about being a kindergartener. His teacher is Mrs. Felkins and she seems to be very enthusiastic. Which, as you know, with Drayton is a good thing. Here he is outside the school yesterday.

I did it!

Drayton is admiring his preschool graduation certificate. I had trouble with the camera at the exact moment that he was presented his "diploma". I hope that this is not a sign of my doing this at every important moment.

Ms Amy and Dray Dray

This was Drayton's preschool teacher since he was 3. She was in the primary class and then moved up with the pre-k class when they all moved up. Amy isn't much taller than the kids and she has such a sweet heart. We were lucky to have her.

Farewell to preschool

Drayton graduated from preschool yesterday. They had a hawaiian party. This is a cake with their class picture on the front. None of his preschool friends will be attending his elementary school so this is a sad farwell.

Out of the mouth of babes

I noticed yesterday that for the past week I had been suffering greatly from what I call GBS (grumpy butt syndrome). And I tried hard to figure out why. This morning as we walked into Drayton's Sunday School class he jumped up and down and informed his teacher "I'm so happy to be back at church!". And bingo! My GBS was cleared. I'm so lucky to have such a great son!!!

Countdown to Kindergarten

We went for Kindergarten assessment/testing today. He met the three teachers at Washington elementary. We do a meet/great open house on the 17th and 1st day of school is the 20th. YES!! I am a wreck!
