Kindergarten.........

Lots of people have asked me how Kasey is doing in kindergarten.
He's doing just fine. It's a learning process just like everything else he has encountered in the past year and a half.
When he was in preschool he had a lot of acting out issues, biting, pinching, hair pulling...but the teachers were excellent at working with him through these behaviors. They really did a good job with him. His new kindergarten teacher is really great too, very patient and kind with her kids. He has had only 1 incident so far and I think that shows how much he has grown just in the past couple of months.
His language skills are coming along really well, so is writing his letters. Now he can even sound out a few written words ! :) So I think he is a smart little cookie....and nope, I am not biased ;)

Just for fun I'll let you know what Kasey loves: fishing, fish, dad's trucks, dad's tools, dad's lawnmowers, grandpa's 4-wheelers, shooting guns(pretend) bike rides, swinging on swings, gymnastics, climbing ropes and climbing up doorways (I know!!!),
his toys-he loves each and every one of his toys, animals--wolves, bears, sharks, cows, pigs, tigers, lions.......the list is endless, mom reading books every night at bedtime, and most of all, he just loves spending time with his dad in the garage or outside.

favorite bible verse

First Corinthians, Chapter 13


If I speak in the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I am a noisy gong or a clanging cymbal.
And if I have prophetic powers, and understand all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have all faith, so as to remove mountains, but have not love, I am nothing.
If I give away all I have, and if I deliver my body to be burned, but have not love, I gain nothing.
Love is patient and kind; love is not jealous or boastful;
it is not arrogant or rude. Love does not insist on its own way; it is not irritable or resentful;
it does not rejoice at wrong, but rejoices in the right.
Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.
Love never ends; as for prophecies, they will pass away; as for tongues, they will cease; as for knowledge, it will pass away.
For our knowledge is imperfect and our prophecy is imperfect;
but when the perfect comes, the imperfect will pass away.
When I was a child, I spoke like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child; when I became a man, I gave up childish ways.
For now we see in a mirror dimly, but then face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall understand fully, even as I have been fully understood.
So faith, hope, love abide, these three; but the greatest of these is love.

Kasey's 6th birthday

Last Sunday was Kasey's 6th birthday. Hard to believe he is 6 and in Kindergarten already. He is a very fast learner, he has a very good memory for words. He comes home with a new word everyday, and has entire conversations in almost perfect english. I think he is amazing :)
