I still remember getting all my school supplies and I was so excited to get everything organized for school.  I hope I can pass on that excitement to the kids because I know it will not come from Ryan.  He thinks I am crazy!  Anyway, Jeremy is in his last year of preschool before Kindergarten and at his school, each child gets a workbook with all their supplies for the year.  




Every week, they have a little bit of homework (the teacher says never to MAKE them do it) which includes writing a letter and number for the week OVER and OVER, cut and pasting pictures they find that start with the letter of the week and a connect the dot page that eventually makes a letter.  Jeremy got his workbook on Monday and he loves it.  He has loved practicing his letters so much that Ryan and I woke up to a quiet house at 7:30 and found Jbird quietly writing X and O in a book for tic tac toe.  Notice he even crossed the X's in one of the squares.


We were told to put a picture of Jbird on the front so we took it to the next level and put pictures of J doing some of his favorite things.  I cut most of the pics but J cut a few and did ALL the pasting.

I am going to enjoy that he loves doing his "homework" because I am sure that 5 years down the road, it will be like pulling teeth.  Fun times!

Such a big boy. I can tell he is going to be like his mommy (super organized). Maybe he will find a friend who he can sit in class and take notes for while his friend lies on the grass and sunbathes. ; ) Love you!!

So cute. I love that he is so studious. And, Sky, I am right there with you. I love(d) school supplies and most of all organizing them at the beginning of the school year. I wish I still got to work with smelly markers, gluesticks and itsy bitsy scissors.
