a full week finished!

Josiah finished his first full week of school this week.  Monday and Tuesday were just half days and the rest were full days-2:00 pick up.  We have had a busy and full week.  On Monday, I picked up Josiah and also a little girl in our neighborhood who happens to be in Josiah's class.  We are pretty excited about that.  She came over and played while her mom was at work.  The kids had fun playing together and getting to know each other better.  Josiah has enjoyed going to school.  Although, toward the end of the week he kept saying that he wasn't going to go on Friday.  (I think, though, that he was saying this knowing that Ryan is usually home on Fridays.)  He did fine today, though, and Ryan said that when he got in the van Josiah said, "Another GREAT day of kindergarten."  All week long we have been encouraging Josiah to learn the names of the kids in his class.  So far he has mentioned Logan, Parks, Wesley, Audrey, and Kyle.  

Aedan is doing well adjusting to Josiah being gone during the day.  I definitely think he misses him.  On Wednesday, Josiah made a card for Aedan.  (He did this completely on his own and by himself when Aedan and Mercy were napping...and I was resting...not sleeping, just laying down.)  Here's the card:   

If your having trouble reading it, it says, "Aedan-sorry I have to go to school." (with a smiley face at the end)  Then he drew a tree, a school, and a school bus.  Not that he rides a bus.  (You can click on it to see a bigger picture of it if you want.)

Today, Josiah brought home a weekly folder with a behavior update.  He did a great job!  Just one "needs improvement"--on talking---raising his hand and stuff.  Yay!  I am so glad he had a good week.  We are proud of you, Josiah!

Don't worry, I won't post these every week...just this one since it is the first!
