The kids had their FIRST day of school on August 21. Teancum is in FOURTH grade and Ammon is in FIRST grade. Ammon lost his FIRST tooth on the FIRST day and his SECOND tooth on the THIRD day. This is also the FIRST time at a new school and the FIRST time to go to school in a different state. They seem to really like school and their teachers. We are close enough for the kids to walk to school and to walk home. I usually take them in the morning and they walk in the afternoon. I think they like the little bit of independence I am trying to give them. Some days it makes me nervous, especially when they take sooo long to get home. One day last week they were walking home and they usually get here around between 3:20 and 3:30pm. It was 3:50 and they still weren't here I looked down the streets to see if they were coming and nothing. I couldn't see them anywhere. Brigham and Emma were asleep and I was watching Connor so I put them in the car and drove around looking for the boys. They had just barely left the school so they weren't very far from it. They now know that they are supposed to walk straight home unless I tell them otherwise. Overall school is great and the kids seem to really enjoy it and meeting new friends.
Ok so I picked up Ammon from school today, as soon as we started driving away from the school he starts asking me questions. It went something like this.
Ammon: Hey mom,
Mom: What?
Ammon: Why did Jesus make Bad Guys?
Mom: Well he didn't make bad guys, They were born and when they grew up they made bad choices and became bad guys.
Ammon: Well they should have followed Jesus.
Mom: I know
Ammon: I think that if there are grown ups that follow Satan, and Kids that follow Jesus the grown ups need to watch the kids so they can follow Jesus too.
Mom: That's a great Idea.
Ammon: Do you know why I say I love Jesus in my prayers?
Mom: Why?
Ammon: Because I always want to follow him and do whats right. Grown ups should always watch the kids if they follow Jesus so they can be good too.
Mom: I agree!
Ammon amazes me all the time. He has such a wonderful spirit and such a loving heart. He wants everyone to do and be GOOD all the time.
Well Ammon is now 6, I can't believe how fast time goes. He is getting so big , we love Ammon so much and are so happy that he came to our family. Hope you had a fun Birthday.
On your mark get set..........OPEN
Ammon had two cakes for his birthday, one for the little get together with some family and one for his classroom. Both of them were very tasty.
Ammon had a lot of fun for his birthday here is one of his cool presents
Here is the cake Ammon asked me to make for his Kindergarten class. It turned out pretty good except for the wheels, which were supposed to be cookies. I forgot to buy them so I tryed to improvise and it fell apart on the way to his class. Next time I'll make sure to use the cookies.
