Kindergarten is moving faster than "Babyhood"






Oh my goodness, Kindergarten has moved so, so fast. It's only mid-November and Ryan has grown up so much. It makes me think of how quickly all the milestones of "babyhood" came and went... rolling over, crawling, walking, talking! Here are some great things that have changed in our lives in the last 2 months:
Ryan ...
  • can count by 2's up to 100 (and write it all out too!)
  • can read simple text like "Ryan likes to go to the store. She loves food."
  • can write sentences like "This is my dblyu (w). wt (what) I like is that it is culrful (colorful).
  • can have a playdate with a new friend every day if we had the time (she is such a nice friend).
  • can draw with so much detail.
  • has homework every night and sits at the dining room table faithfully to get it done right (she only wants a "check plus" - a "check" is just not good enough!)
  • is learning how to type on the keyboard in computer lab.
  • plays chess and has joined the chess club. (Whoa! Mommy is so impressed)
We're so proud of you Ry-Ry!
You're growing up so fast!

Ryan, We are so proud of you. You are FANTASTIC! WE have a chess set awaiting your next visit. Grandpa thinks you might beat him. Maybe you might want him to win the first match, for you know manhood. But watch out for NONA!
Love, Nona and Grandpa Kudron
