Something I forgot during the teacher conference:
The teacher said Braxton was seated with a girl on each side to keep him from playing around too much. She said it didn't exactly work because "he likes to entertain the girls" . . . " and they like him entertaining them" .
I thought that was funny and reminded me of his older brother when he was younger. Smile.
Thought of the day.

Tuesday for L.R.C.
Little Red Chief had a good day.
His class got to see some firemen, a fire truck and a police dog during PE class today. This was a great highlight along with getting to see one of the other student’s dad who recently got back from Afghanistan.
He told us all of this with a bright, red, plastic fireman hat as we walked from the school, to the suburban, and all the way to Chick-fil-A.
We had a parent/teacher conference to explain the new Kindergarten report cards (tested now on skills and lots of them) and it was close to pick up time so we checked him out early.
His teacher said he is very smart and doing very well academically. She said he does great in class and is doing well all the way around. The only area she said he needs to improve on to get checked as accomplished is in asking for help. It did not surprise us that the teacher said he will NOT ask for help even if he needs it on what he is working on.
She asked us to work on that but said a few more times that Braxton is very smart and loves numbers. She said he will be reading well soon and that he picks up very, very fast. She said she really thinks he will go far.
Encouraging words and we appreciated them. Some days… you wonder about these things.
We have noticed how quickly he learns. Many things are almost instantaneous. Writing his name took one time of being shown and it is the same with certain math facts, some words, rules to games and more.
He loved playing in the play area at the food place and kept calling out “Mama” and waving wildly from all the high places he climbed.
He ate all his chicken nuggets down and would have probably eaten most of his fries but I accidentally threw them away. He was happy over that (not) but very patient. He had a particular “look” he gets but he kept quiet on his opinion and said he was full anyway.
For some reason, he came home saying he was starving and didn’t stop saying that until he convinced Sierrah to make him a sandwich.
To top it off? He wore his new blue jeans with pockets on the side from Michael and Brandy and he wants to wear them all the time!
All in all --- a very good day
As he calls most of them now… “A Green Face Day” . . .
