Student of the month!

After a rough start with Dawson's new teacher (and many red days and frowning faces on his daily reports...), I am proud to say that he received a certificate on Friday for being the Student of the Month! He has really worked hard over the past several weeks to turn his behavior around at school. He is learning so much in kindergarten already, and it brings tears to my eyes to see how quickly he is growing up.



Dawson has passed many milestones this year. He finally hit 40 pounds, he knows how to write his whole alphabet, he has started to spell some words, his knowledge of numbers has expanded from 1-10 to 1-29, and the list could even go on! Mommy and daddy are filled with tremendous pride for our little guy. He continues to struggle to catch up with the other kids his age, but he won't ever stop trying because that's how he is! Dawson is always curious and is constantly trying to figure out new things.



Good job, my student of the month! Here's to many more successes over the next 12 years of school!

Oh Christmas Tree, Oh Christmas Tree!

The Cloud family had so much fun putting up our tree this year! Dawson was really excited to be able to hang the ornaments up by himself without any assistance from mommy or daddy.





Hayden also had fun while she enjoyed pretending to help!
