Kindergarten Progress

Our little Riley is growing up so fast -- check out his kindergarten school photo!

We had our first parent/teacher conference last night and got Riley's first report card too!  Riley had a rough start getting used to the more formal school setting (let's just say there were numerous notes and emails from the teacher regarding Riley's behavior - every week!).  However, he's getting better and the teacher said she thinks she has his number...he's got a ton of energy and she has learned to channel it for the most part.  We need to work a bit on his recognition of sight words but other than that, he's right where he should be at this point in the year.  And he's participating in a pretty cool extracurricular activity every Tuesday night during the month of October - a Lego competition!  I asked Riley what his favorite part about school is and he said "Lunch!"  I said, "Okay, how about your second favorite part about school?"  His response, "Gym class!"  Of course...food and running -- what did I expect?!
