Toby

School has been very exciting for the boys and in Daniel's class there were some extra special things they have done. One special treat has been for each child to take home a bear named Toby from their class. Daniel was the second one to take it home and we had a wonderful time doing things with him. We even got him dressed in a swim suit and Daniel wanted to make sure he had a shirt and sunglasses. This was one cool bear!
We have really had a fun time this year and both boys have made some good friends through sports or from last year that they are renewing that it's fun to see. Daniel has started to really draw and even read to us. I love, love, love it! It's hard to believe! Luke too wants to do everything Daniel does and tries to read as well and do math problems in the car. I'm excited too that he is getting more comfortable with friends and realizes that he can have more than just his brother as a friend. Daniel and Luke though really are the best of friends and they include Ellie too. They're all very close and everyday someone says they'll miss the others, which they all chime in to say they'll miss everyone too. I'm so thankful for my family!

How nice to share a class stuffed bear. When I was in first grade, we had a class lizard. When I took it home for the weekend, it died. Very traumatic. Did the teacher ask for photos of what the bear did. That would be fun to share.
