Kindergarten Open House

By -
This afternoon we accompanied our firstborn to Kindergarten Open House. He was excited to wear his new (longsleeve) clothes and sport his freshly trimmed & spiked hairdo. He jumped out of the Suburban and wanted to hold both of our hands as we entered the building. Gasp.
His class is the third one on the right, Ms. Henry and her assistant Ms. Colbert. Both are quite lovely ladies and seem to have a calming, quiet spirits. The classroom was beautiful and very colorful. Luke found several things that excited him. He met 2 of the students that will sit at his table, Amara and Caitlin. Both are darling. Then we went to the Library, this was his idea. We found the Clifford and Berenstain Bears books. Both were my favorites at his age. He found several he wanted to check out. He is bound to be a good reader! The school was all abuzz with activity and laughter. Many students were visiting their teachers from last year. This was a good sign I thought. The big day is Tuesday. Students must arrive by 7:50 a.m. Come back to FullerTown for an update!

Pretty...

Hello There! There is something that has bothered me for years. I have begun to do better, and encouraged others to change their ways. This is it... Why do people almost always compliment little girls on their appearance first? Little girls are held to a higher standard in regard to their appearance and little boys are held to a very low standard regarding their behavior. This baffles me. I know you've heard it, probably even done it.  What's the first thing most people say to a little girl? "You're so pretty!" "Your dress is so pretty!" Why not compliment how compassionate & respectful she is because you just witnessed her let an older person get on the elevator first? Brave because you see the band-aid on her arm from a doctor visit? Smart...maybe she has a book in her hand! Funny...did she just tell the best joke you've heard all week? Creative...does she have an ornate hairstyle?  Or an outfit you would have never

Train Up A Child... Christmas edition

Many have asked how we teach our children about Jesus and still participate in the fun of Santa, Elf on the Shelf, etc... I say it simply, they know that Jesus is the true reason for Christmas.  I have had a motto for many years, " If all we put into their little hearts & minds is JESUS, then He is all that will come out!"   Here are some things we do: We GO to church.  We do not go out of habit or obligation, we go because we want to worship corporately every chance we get.  Our children have all attended Sunday school since they were very young.  I was the Mom bringing my baby to church at 9 days old, 4 days old, two weeks old...  As soon as I was able to get myself dressed by church time, we were there. Since our children were all very young, we have had nightly devotion time as a family.  Sometimes, this has been a simple prayer together after a long day.  More recently, we actually read from a children's devotional book.  The children often read it then D

A few weeks ago school started here in FullerTown. We didn't have much homework that first week. Yay!!  Then last week, we didn't have ANY due to an evening event at the church that sponsors the school.   We were really excited!  A long weekend made us feel like we were on vacation.  This week, the homework has hit us full-force. We are on the midst of learning new spelling words, Bible verses, etc...  We are also collecting insects and bark rubbings for two different projects.  May this be our best school year yet!!!
