A Letter from the Teacher's Desk...

(I got permission to post this letter from Andrew's KG teacher. I was so proud that I wanted to share with you all. Mrs. Forehand rocks! She, too, is very patient with us. It is great to have such an energetic and understanding person for our children's teacher! We are very pleased with what he has accomplished thus far...and the team at Orange Lake has made that possible! Thanks a bunch!)

Sometimes it takes me a few days to do things- I'm also a full time graduate student so i seem to have no time, but its not for too much longer! Here are a few pics from octber when we did community helpers, andrew loves to take pictures and he always looks so adorable! I knew youd want any pics i have of him! he is doing so great with his English- today he started saying Mrs. Forehand instead of "Forehand". Also, so adorable yesterday, on his writing he sounded out the word "pray" he spelled it prau, but he told me what it was and he even showed me, it was such a precious moment.

As i read through your blogs it just made me cry. you know andrew always has to share with everyone else during carpet time and he always has a story to add to what we are talking about. i have never taken what he says too seriously becasue i just thought he wanted to share like everyone else. but since the first day of school, every story he ever shared is true! He told us about how much fun he had jumping on the bed when yall came to columbia, he said he had three dogs, one was in heaven, one was big and one was little- dasy, missy, and ellie (did one bite the other and it went to the doctor?). he also told us of his aunt in heaven. And he even told us about the time you dressed up as a pregnant lady!! He is such a brilliant little guy, i cant belive he understands so well what we talk about and he understands perfectly! He is just so amazing. Everyone who comes in to the classroom and who saw him at the beggining of the year cant belive he is the same kid, but we always say the same reply "He has wonderful parents!" I look forward to seeing Andrew smile every morning! I will send ya more pics when i take them, i currently have lost my camera!

ps- something funny, i was explaining Mrs. and Mr. to andrew using your name, Mrs. Wendi, and Mr. Ben, i asked Andrew does mami call Papi Ben, Benji, or Benjamin, and he said -as if he was yelling- "Benjamin Wood!" It was hularious becasue he said it like Papi had done someting wrong and u were getting on to him, i asked if you only call him Benjamin Wood when he was in trouble, Andrew laughed and said yeah, sometimes Mami says Ben. Kindergarteners are so cute!
