Yes, our little guy is in Kindergarten this year! When I held Trey in my arms as a baby I remember thinking,"I wonder what kind of little boy he will grow up to be." and now I hold him on my lap and think, " I wish my little boy would stop growing." The time has gone by WAY to FAST. I know I keep saying this over and over but the time really does slip away.
Trey has been in school now for a few months. It is AMAZING to see how much he has learned! He is getting really good and his letters, learning lots of Bible stories, and even SOUNDING OUT WORDS. He brings these little books home from the teacher with "sight words" that they are learning. At first they were all his sight words and now he is even sounding out new words. Reading in Kindergarten. WOW! Everywhere we go now he looks for his "sight words" or words he can sound out. He is asking us how to spell things and even spelling some by himself on his pictures. They are not always correct, but you can tell what he was trying to write. It is just amazing to me to see how their little minds develop and grow in knowledge. His favorite part of school is of course recess. He tells me he plays a lot of ball tag. He says he is fast! :). For a few weeks some boys were taking their tractors and wagons to school and playing with them in the mud and dirt. What a little guy's dream right??? :) I guess the principle put an x-nay on the tractors when they started sending them down the slide. HA..boys will be boys.
Trey continues to love to draw pictures of pirate boats, planes, batman, and ninja's. The detail he has to his pirate boats and airplanes are amazing. I should really take a picture of something he draws in church and post it on here. He also loves to continue to color. Him and Aubyn could spend an hour at the counter everyday coloring together. He to stays in the lines so well. I hope he continues to care about detail.
Trey also likes to play on the i-pad. He plays angry birds of course, and many other apps. He plays this shark attack game (which I am not a fan of), matching games, coloring games, takes pictures of things and turns then into a crazy design with this special app. He also Loves using the smart board at school. Another favorite game is "wild Krats" on the computer. He can navigate himself to the right site by typing a few letters in the address bar and get to where he needs to play his games. The Krat game is like the PBS show "Wild Krats." Its about 2 brothers who explore animals in the wild and turn into the animals they are studying for the day. I even like watching it. LOL.
Trey just recently got a new pair of REAL cow boy boats. Toby had gotten a pair for working outside and Trey has always wanted some to work on the farm like Grandpa George. It was so fun for the first few weeks. He would get all his cowboy gear on..which was... boats, ripped jeans, flannel plaid shirt, leather cowboy vest that Toby wore when he was little, cowboy hat and a rope around his pant loop (which was a plastic snake). He looked just like a little cowboy. He would pull around this fake horse and tie his rope to it and bring it to the pasture and tie it to the fence. He would feed and water it and treat it like a real horse. It was so fun to see his imagination at work. And of course a little cowgirl had to join the fun which was even more fun seeing them play together. She too in her cowgirl apparel....same as Trey's. Oh to be little again!!!
Trey loves to read his books at night yet. He listens so intently and asks questions sometimes. We then do his sight word book we are supposta read every night and then review his memory verse. Thankfully by Thrusday he knows his memory verse! This month we are adding many Christmas songs to his nightly routine and I pray the Lord helps this mother teach him all these songs because there are a TON of them! But it is so fun to hear his little manly voice sing!
