Kindergarten assessment

This morning was Kyle's big day-his Kindergarten assessment. He was so excited. As we were walking to the classroom and holding hands part of me couldn't believe my little Kyle is already going to Kindergarten. I don't feel as emotional as I did when Tyler went, but I think that's more because Kyle is so much more confident. He's more of a people person and just ready for the adventure that awaits him. Anyway, he walked in, followed the directions perfectly and they said he's totally on target. I must say my favorite part was when they asked him to draw a picture of himself. He was so sweet while he was drawing and very talkative. He said, "Sure, I can draw myself...I do this all the time at home." He proceeded to quickly draw himself. When drawing his face he said, "I'm drawing myself happy because that is how I feel right now. When we first came in I was nervous because I thought this stuff might be hard, but it's not. It's actually really fun." I loved hearing him say that. Afterward I took him out to the playground and let him play for a while. He was in heaven. I taught him how to play hop scotch and then he amazed me with his ability to do so much on the bars. He said, "I can't believe I'm going to get to play on this playground everyday!!" While walking to the car his final remarks were, "Mom, I just can't stop smiling. I think I'm going to smile all day because I'm just so happy." We are so excited for Kyle! Friday we will go back and see what class he gets placed in. He CAN'T wait!! Good job today Kyle! You're growing up to be an amazing kid. We love you!!
