Rhett update

...So my friend Christy totally came through for me in an unexpected way. Without even asking, she gave me an idea for a post. Thanks friend!

Rhett has been to kindergarten for a month now. And it is totally amazing to see all he has learned. Today he was singing a song, "WHITE, that spells white" and while he was singing it "WHYTE, that spells white," I was still impressed. Here are some more info about Rhett's first month of kindergarten:

Friends: Jack is his best friend right now. He talks about him all the time. He mentions other boys too, I forget their names right now, but Jack is a subject we talk about every day. He is totally girl shy right now--will not admit that any girls are his friends. Ewww, mom, no, no. No girlfriends. NO! I think those are his exact words.

Cool things: So he has to do a mystery sack every week with the letter they are learning that week. They have to tell the class 3 clues about what is in their sack. The cool thing is that he is doing his clues all by himself now. At the beginning, I was helping him and now he just does it by himself and I just write them down for him. This past week was O and his mystery sack contained an Octopus. His clues: It has 8 legs, It's mouth is at the bottom, and he shoots ink out when scared. Such a smart fellow!

Oops moment: So a couple of weeks ago, I picked him up and he told me that he got to have a second breakfast that morning. I nodded, thinking someone had brought snacks. Then he told me what he had for breakfast (biscuits, orange juice, cereal, milk) and I figured out that he went into the cafeteria and had a second breakfast! Without paying! After making sure he knew never to do that again, I wondered what would possess the person in charge of the money to allow a 5-year old to just come on in, because surely the mom just forgot his money that day!!! Rhett said she didn't say anything about paying. A few days later, I got a note with a $0.90 charge for breakfast. Ugg.

Oops moment #2: Apparently, one day at recess, he and his friend, Brady, hid under the computer chairs the whole time. I never did get the full story about this one and really, didn't want to.

What Rhett is learning: He has been talking about snakes, about Halloween, making puppets, writing numbers and letters, writing his own letters to the Gingerbread man, and playing basketball

So, in short, he is becoming a little man. And I couldn't be prouder!
