My Big Boy Crew

This post is all about Crew. I seriously cannot believe what a big boy Crew is. My good friend Kristy helped us get him into this great little Preschool with Miss Glenda. He goes Tues-Thurs from 9am to noon and LOVES it! I was a little nervous going from one day a week for two hours to 9 hours of school a week but he wanted it and is doing so well. This is such a big step for a kid who we couldn't leave for two years because he was so attached. I honestly thought I would be going on a mission with this kid. But he is growing up so fast and I still get kind of teary eyed every morning when I drop him off at school and he gives me a kiss then yells "See ya mom!" as he jumps out of the car and runs in the door.

On Thursday, Crew was presented his Alphabet Certificate which means he is ready to start reading! He has been trying to sound things out for a little while now but he is going to start bringing home books and is putting letters together to make words. There were six kids who got their certificates that day and it was fun to be there for the special presentation. They each got a little gumball machine to celebrate their hard work. Here is Crew getting his award from Miss Glenda.

The next day my mom and Crew disappeared for a few hours and when they came back, they let me in on their exciting day. Grandma took Crew to the zoo for a little date and man did they have fun. Crew got to feed a giraffe (I love his face)

And then he got to ride a camel!

My mom said he had a smile on his face the entire time

Thanks for the date grandma!
