Colby & Ms. Gore

This is Colby's Kindergarten teacher, Ms. Gore. We took this picture on Meet the Teacher night last Friday, August 24th. Ms. Gore is an Aggie, which Colby thought was super cool! She has an alphabet in her room and the L stands for Longhorn and has a big picture of a Longhorn cow (looks really similar to Bevo). Colby was quick to point out to Ms. Gore that we don't like the Longhorns and that the horns should be "sawed off". Ms. Gore said that she and Colby would work on that! I imagine the next time we visit Ms. Gore's class, the longhorn will be hanging upside down so the horns will be "sawed off"!

Colby is making a fashionable statement in this picture with his knee high socks and new Sketcher tennis shoes! For those of you who don't get to see Colby that often, the knee high socks are a staple in his wardrobe! When asked "why" he wears them so high (the heel of the sock shows up about mid-calf!) he says they keep his knees from getting scraped if he falls down. In my mind I wonder, "why won't he just wear pants?!". Anyway...Colby is LOVING Kindergarten and Kids Klub. So far each night at dinner, we've talked about his three favorite things and his three least favorite things. Some of his favorites have been typing in his secret code (pin) in the cafeteria, playing in centers, and Kids Klub. And, so far he hasn't been able to name three things he doesn't like!

I don't have a picture of Holden with her new teacher (I am SO falling down on the job!) but lately when we ask her what she did at school, she tells us that she has been "goin' on a BIG bear hunt!". Imagine her doing over-exaggerated sign-language and signing "big" (arms outstretched) and bear (crossing your arms at your chest and scratching). When asked how she goes on a bear hunt, she'll look at you and ask, "bear get you?!". Then we have to convince her that the bear went night-night! Her favorite centers have been the cars and trains - nothing like raising a dainty little girl!

We hope the kiddos continue their love of learning! I'm sure there will be more stories shortly!
