I just wanted to post today about my firstborn, Chandler. He is approaching 4 1/2 and is just an amazing little boy. He can certainly push my (and Brighton's and Daddy's) buttons when he wants to, but is overall a great kid. He is so thoughtful and caring and all of his teachers be it at preschool, Awana, or MOPS, just rave about what a good helper he is and how he is so well behaved. Hopefully that means I'm doing something right!
Above is a picture of his latest "craft" at MOPS. This year in the 4s & 5s class they really do an advanced craft every week. That is certainly a testament to the devotion that these teachers have to the Lord. They do this with no pay, only receiving the blessings that these kids bring to their lives. You may not can tell, but the picture on the pillow is of Chandler, and it was taken exactly two weeks ago at our last MOPS meeting. The funny/amazing thing to me is that Chandler has on the exact shirt in both the picture and today. I had to do a double-take. He is really proud of his new pillow, and so am I.
Chandler is really starting to grow up in terms of his learning too. He likes to write out his letters and is getting really good at sounding out the letters in words. We practice a little during his quiet time each day and I've recently bought him some more workbooks since he has flown through all the ones I bought in August. He is doing some beginning Math with counting and adding and is always wanting more to do. I've been reading out loud the Magic Tree House book series to him and he really enjoys hearing about "Jack & Annie" and pretends to be on whatever adventure they are on too.
Chandler is also a great big brother to both Brighton and Maverick. He (generally) is very helpful to them whenever they need something and loves to show them anything new. I'm so proud to be his mama!
