Special Kid




Brandon was selected to be "Special Kid"! This is a great thing for kindergartners. On their Special Kid Day they go to the front of the class and every learns neat things about them. The entire class learned to spell Brandon's name, they yelled his name, whispered it, chanted it, said it fast and slow! Then Brandon tells everyone how old he is (5), what his favorite food is (spaghetti), and what he likes to play with (cars). Then Brandon put together his name puzzle. After all of this the kids go to their tables and draw pictures of Brandon. The coolest thing is that everyone adds a compliment to their picture. Some of the compliments were that his friends like his shirt (dinosaur shirt), they like his hair, they think he's really good on the monkey bars. Some kids said they like the way he sits. Obviously, that's an important thing at this age!!
Brandon was so proud to walk to the front of the class and get all of this positive attention. He got to bring his book of portraits home and we love looking at all of the great pictures and reading the compliments!

Baseball Game Fun!



We have the luxury of having friends in high places to get us great seats to the ballgame. Which means we can sit behind home plate and not pay for the tickets! Yeah!! The kids had lots of fun. I don't think they watched much of the game but entertained themselves with hot dogs, popcorn and the biggest snow cone I've ever seen. It was a great choice on Brandon's part. It kept them occupied for at least 3 innings! The fashionable colors of their tongues were the end result!!
