Merry Christmas Everyone!

Thank you so much to all of my friends and family who gave me a gift this Christmas!  I love them all and want to play with all of them at once!  I am so glad I got to visit with my Daddy's family last week and I will see my Mommy's family next week!

Fun weekend

Last weekend we all went to Richmond to experience the lights at my uncle's garden, the Lewis Ginter botanical gardens.  It was beautiful, but none of my pictures came out well so I couldn't share them with you.  Sorry!   This weekend my Maryland family came over and we had a pre-Christmas party!  I got to play with my cousins and eat yummy Christmas food, we even had blue mashed potatoes and green macaroni and cheese thanks to food coloring. 

When my family left it was homework time.  I am practicing my addition skills.

Holiday concert

This week Dexter had his holiday concert at school.  In the morning his class is a mixed age classroom with 3-5 year olds.  Dexter and Edward are the two Kindergartners in the classroom so they got to introduce all the songs to the parents.  They sang "Up on the housetop", "Light a candle for peace", "Chubby little snowman" and "Thank you".  Dexter did so well and thinking back to last year's concert where he was mumbling through all the songs and shy it was amazing.  This year he knew all the words, sang loudly and clearly and even knew all the dance moves :)

I hope everyone has an awesome holiday season!

Santa!!

Santa came to my mall!!  I got to meet him today and talk with him.  He didn't ask me if I have been a good boy, I guess he already knew that I am.  He did ask what I wanted for Christmas and I told him I want some Octonaut toys.  It was hard to deciede between Paw Patrol, Jake and the pirates, Mickey Mouse Clubhouse and Octonauts because I enjoy all those shows so much!  I can not wait for Christmas to get here!!

School Photos

Dexter reading "How to hide a lion" to his classmates.  Dexter often brings books to school for the teachers to read to the class.  This day Dexter read the book himself (that he had memorized) and his teacher emailed Dan and I later that day to say how proud she was of him and his confidence reading in front of his class.  Dexter is getting much better at reading and he reads us a basic reading book each night with 3 and 4 letter words.  It is so cool to see his progress!

 Dexter and his friend Edward writing in their morning journal.  They are encouraged to draw a picture and then write a few sentences about their picture every morning at school.

Dexter giving his family tree project presentation to his class.    He was supposed to say the person's name, their relation to Dexter and the state they were born.  Dexter did well, he forgot a few states but did well overall in his first real homework project.
