Easton's FIRST year in Nursery School is coming to a close. As we finish up the year his teachers send home an End Of The Year Evaluation, they also do one in the begining of the year, and then we the parents meet with the teachers to discuss Easton progress and goals for next year. I must say that even though I am super proud of Easton in all the check-list areas(academics) that isn't what made me the most proud or even break down...it was his teachers summary! Here is their summary of Easton:Easton has had a fabulous year in Nursery School! He is an extremely sweet and thoughtful little boy. Easton always has a wonderful smile for his teachers, and a very positive attitude. Even when he is sad, it is short-lived, since it doesn't take much to help Easton wipe away the frown and encourage the return of that happy face. He is affectionate and always has a hug, and an "I Love You", for both of us every day.
We are so proud of the progress Easton has made this year both socially and academically. He is so enthusiastic and excited to be involved in all that we have done in school. Easton is very kind to his friends, sharing and offering support whenever necessary. He is always ready to help with clean-up, and never has to be reminded.
He now understands the need for, and importance of, personal space. He is able to defend himself with his words, and is comfortable using his words with teachers and friends. Easton has become more independent, and can handle most situations by himself, without asking for help. Easton has made many friends, who enjoy playing with him in our various centers. It is such fun watching Easton dressed up in a black cape and pirate hat. We often have to persuade him to remove the cape during Circle; he enjoys wearing it throughout morning Choice Time, even when he leaves the drama area.
*Academic progress*
We will miss Easton very much next year. Thank you so much for sharing him with us. We wish him lots of happy times and continued success in Pre-K.
What I love most about this summary of my child is that in a classroom full of 15 other kids they got my Easton! His funny and charming little quirks!! I am so thankful to the two women who care for and love my child every Tuesday and Thursday. 
We have had GREAT weather this entire week, so on Thursday we decided to take the boys to the farm for the first time this year! Like always they LOVED the farm and couldn't get enough of all the animals. Waylon is so cute, he knows all the noises the animals make but not all the names of the animals, so he spent most of his time calling the animals by noise(neigh-horse, baa-sheep). Then when we went into the barn to wash our hands we got to see lots of little baby turkeys, that were only 1 day old. We had such a fun time and can't wait to go back when the ponies are giving rides!!

3. playing in his new water/sand table
A virtue an almost 4 year old doesn't have when his FAVORITE Superman shirt is being washed!!
We can't believe how quickly Waylon has/is growing up!! It amazes me every day what he is doing and wanting to do. I think seeing Easton doing so many things on his own really pushes Waylon to want to and try new things on his own. Waylon has started using a spoon to feed himself, he has been using a fork for a while now, but now he can eat his breakfast and lots of other snacks at the table with no help from Mommy and no big messes either!!
