Kid Bragging

I gave you a heads up so you can stop reading if you would like.

Every once in awhile Hagen will get a note on his paper...mostly when he has had a bad day.

Last night I took dinner to a friend and so Ryan picked up the kids from school. When I came home Hagen was SO excited to show me his daily sheet. It said, "Hagen is a hard, conscientious worker and is always trying to improve his skills. You should be very proud of him!"

I melted. It was the best part of my day! She said that after he finished his work he asked for more, and then more...she finally gave him a blank piece of paper and he wrote the alphabet in all caps and then in lower case without prompting.

I told her this morning how happy I was that he was doing well in Pre-K and she said that he is like having a teacher aide in class...he is helpful, loving, and just smart. (you can gag now) I am just so proud of him!

And then there is Hazel. Ryan said when he picked her up her teacher said she had a new trick. Ryan said, "Hazel, walk like a duck" and she put her hands behind her and wiggled her fingers. It was the cutest thing ever!

They are so far apart in their ages so the accomplishments are very different, but I just love it!!

I feel so blessed to have Hagen and Hazel in my life and to be their Mom...my sweet SWEET babies!!

Oh, but Hazel has started to hit...just me...mainly when I am changing her diaper or her clothes. She swats and I tell her no...she just stares at me almost as if she is saying, "just wait till I'm a teenager...this is just the beginning lady..."

Tata,
