It’s official, Aj has completed his first week of Kindergarten and I couldn’t be more proud. Every Friday he will bring home a folder and inside of that folder is school work from his week at school. Me, being a worrier by nature, had wondered what “he is shy but does what is required of him and does his work good” really meant. As that was the response I got from all his teachers when I asked all week last week!
Friday I opened up Aj’s school folder and sat down with him to review just what he had accomplished this first week in Kindergarten. He pointed out papers he did on the first day and other notes that interested him about his school work. What stuck out at me, as his mother, first and foremost was the fact that on the first day of school he could only spell his name with the two A’s being clearly legible, but by end of week you could read his WHOLE NAME!
Aj can now spell his name and I about jumped up and down dancing around telling him how proud I am of him. He even made it through two days without having any accidents in his pants. For some reason he has been having pee accidents since his last surgery on penis. Teacher assured me accidents will sometimes happen in Kindergarten from nerves too, but the last two days of last week he came home in same clothes and had no accidents. Yay AJ!
Now don’t show that you are too proud or too excited for this little big boy, because for some reason no matter how great he does he isn’t a child who loves to hear praise too often. So if I say it once a day he is good but if I say it over and over about various awesome things he did — well then he will probably run away and frown because he just doesn’t want you to say it too much, he isn’t overly affectionate, remember he is the strong, silent type đŸ˜‰
One Proud NH mama is ME!
