Maya is very fortunate to have the same teacher Camden had last year and I'm hoping Braeden will have the same teacher next year. I didn't have the blog last year when this happened, but my first “teacher call” came from Braeden's teacher! My little two year old was apparently disrupting class and not behaving. He quickly got over it and now loves his church school.
Braeden was lucky enough to get the same teacher Maya had last year, that is, until Hurricane Ike. She decided to move out of state after that and Braeden has had a few teachers since then. He's had the same two teachers now for about a month and he seems to really like them.

Fortunately for me, Maya’s and Braeden's classes are right across the hall from each other, so I 
can go back and forth to each of the parties pretty easily. I helped Braeden's teacher set up and as the kids walk down the hall Braeden sees me and he yells out “Hey everybody!! That’s MY mommy.” After all the kids are settled, Ms. Courtney asks me if Braeden is 4 yet. I tell her that’s he is a late birthday and won't be 4 for a few months. She was shocked, thinking he was one of the older ones in the class, and then tells me that he is such a smart little boy. “He knows all of his colors, numbers, letters, and even some sight words!” I’m such a proud mommy at this point, but not to brag, I tell her that I'm sure he picks a lot of it up as his older brother, who is in Kindergarten, and has to work on those things. Way to go Braeden!

After Braeden's and Maya's parties, it was time for Maya to go to chapel. While she was in 
chapel, Braeden and I helped Maya's teacher clean up and get the room back in order. Since I just heard such great news about Braeden I decided to take the time to ask Maya's teacher about her progress in class. Maya is a late August birthday and honestly, I'm not worried about her being ready for school. My concern really lies with her being a 17 year old young girl going away to college. I mean, had she been born one week later, she wouldn't start school this coming year, she would have one more year to go and would be the oldest instead of the youngest in her class. I know I'm thinking too far out, but I just can't help myself. Well Ms. Connie said that Maya is definitely ready for school. She is one of the few kids that can write her name and completes all of her assignments in class. According to Ms. Connie, most importantly, Maya has a willingness to learn and take direction well. I'm so proud of both Maya and Braeden and this program has been amazing for them!

I decided to be brave Friday and take the two little rugrats to Camden's party as well. I’m not
sure what I was thinking because Maya and Braeden had been pumped full of sugar all morning and were beginning to come crashing down. We showed up to Camden's school and of course Braeden yells down the hall “Hi Camden!!” Camden simply waves and turns bright red. Camden's class made ice cream sundaes and his teacher was kind enough to let Maya and Braeden make them too. (Just what they needed – more sugar! – but how could I refuse) They ate sundaes, played bingo and read stories. I had just heard such wonderful things about Maya and Braeden that I didn't want to push my luck so I was going to pass on talking to Camden’s teacher about his progress. However, she asked me while everyone was quiet and enjoying their sundaes if Camden was always so quiet and shy. (Camden is NOT quiet at home, but I knew he was shy and quiet outside of the house) I told her that he is around adults, but when he’s around his peers and is comfortable he is not quiet. She agreed and said that she'll catch him sometimes being the louder kid, but he’ll stop if he thinks a teacher saw him and he's about to get in trouble. She said that she just wants to shake him in class sometimes because she knows he knows the answer and could be a leader but he’s always so quiet about things. Hopefully, baseball and other sports will help him come out of his shell more and more.

I had to take this one out of the classroom at the end because he was disrupting story time...
Happy Valentine's Day!!
Sorry for the long post, but I’m a proud Momma and it's difficult to get me to stop sometimes. I’m so proud of all three of them and I hope they all continue to do well in school.
