Student of the Month!

WOW!!! Kyle was awarded Student of the Month for the Month of December!!! We were surprised and proud and I think he was too. He brought home a bag with a bunch of stuff in it including a bumper sticker for the car, a pen, pencil, special pin for him to wear (he won't!) and certificates. It was also posted in the weekly newsletter which he hardly ever brings home or is in a crumpled up mess in my washing machine! He was nominated by his P.E. teacher and Coach and it says Kyle is always being ready and helping to motivate others! WAY TO GO KYLE!!!

Not much going on this week but the usual school and work stuff. Kyle volunteered at Sacred Heart Church and I think he actually got something out of it. He worked 2 days and helped to sort food out. He also was there when people came to pick up the food that is needed by so many. I was surprised that he said they were still passing out turkeys to those that wanted them but then thought maybe some people are not able to cook a turkey so they refuse them? Glad that even in these times the food banks are able to help people out. This was for a boy scout project but I think Kyle would enjoy going back and working again. He is moving up another notch towards eagle scout. He is going to be Starat the end of this month. After this it is Life and then Eagle. It will still be about 2 years before he is able to be done but nice to see he is on track and there is an end to boy scout life. He is still not sure he wants to go to boy scout camp this summer but it is on Catalina island and I think he would enjoy it. I said maybe Dad could stay home and you could go by yourself.....he nixed that idea right away and said he would prefer Clark to go so I guess sometimes even though you are 6 feet tall and weigh over 200 pounds you still need your Dad. It is nice that they have something to experience together and I look forward to being able to do the same with Savannah. Who cares if our bonding will be at a luxury hotel and shopping?!!!!

Savannah is doing really well with the potty training and has started to refuse to wear a pullup over her panties when we go out so maybe she is really done? I'm keeping my fingers crossed and knocking on wood. Her funny story of the week is from my mom's house. She had gone in to go to the potty and my mom was on the phone with her friend Missy (Hi Missy!) and then she heard a strange noise in the bathroom so off to investigate. It was Savannah and she had gotten the Lysol spray and was spraying her butt....yep, she had taken a poop and wanted the smell to be gone! Not quite the spraying concept but hey it works for 3 year olds!!!!

She starts back at dance class this week with an added jazz dance to the ballet and tap that she has been doing for a couple of cycles. After this community class, I think I am going to move her to a regular ballet studio, she enjoys it so much and actually practices the positions at home. We will also go back to Mommy and Me Art class which I think I love just as much as she does!

Our weather is fabulous this weekend. We have sunshine and 70's scheduled for all week!!! Yah California-we love your sunshine!! Have a great day and see you soon!
