Show and Tell

This week in Anderson's preschool class, they started 'Show and Tell,' which means every Thursday from now until every child has a turn, one child will bring something to share with the class during circle time. They are using it to give the children some practice speaking.

Anderson was the 1st child chosen to go and he decided to bring Thomas, Annie and Clarabel to show the class. We had no idea what to expect from him! He told the class that he was going to bring Lightning McQueen and Tow Mater but he could not find Mater, so he decided to bring his trains instead. He talked about how he likes to play trains with EJ on their train table, and how Annie and Clarabel are Thomas' coaches. His teachers said he did a great job. Oh how I would have loved to have been a fly on the wall in his class today!

I am extremely happy to report that Anderson is really thriving at preschool and church these days! In the past week alone, his teachers/nursery workers/babysitters/AWANA leaders have had these things to say about him:

Anderson is...

-really smart for his age
-a bright kid
-very athletic
-such a good kid
-the cutest little 3 year old ever
-verbally advanced
-very aware
-the coolest little kid
-so funny
-just like his momma...haha, that was for MJ and Melissa :)

He has said his verse every week in AWANA and has earned 3 patches so far! His preschool teachers say he really likes to do puzzles and is really good at them...he does the hard puzzles by himself, while the other children need help with the easy ones!

Of course these comments are music to our hears! I don't know why we have been bombarded with them so frequently these days. Maybe it is God's way of reassuring us for the many times we have cried out in frustration, "Lord, help us with this STRONG-WILLED child!" or worse..."Help me not to lose my mind dealing with this toddler of mine!"

Keep up the goodwork Little Mister, we love you!
