Amazing things can happen in 4 months...

....especially when you're an incredibly intelligent 5-year-old with....ummm....yes....the world's BEST Kindergarten teacher! Carson is blowing my mind these days with all that he has learned. I wish I could be a fly on the wall in his classroom for a day. Here are some of the things he's learning:

  • He can recite all 50 states in alphabetical order.
  • He knows all the capitals of all the states.
  • He can recite Psalm 100.
  • He can recite one verse beginning with every letter of the alphabet.
  • He can play in a bell choir.
  • He can recite poetry and songs that I've never heard.
  • He can READ, people! ...books, signs on the side of road, his restaurant menu!
  • He can dress himself completely in clothes that match (although I do still have to tie the shoes).
  • He can spell pretty much any three or four letter word you ask of him.
  • He can count money.
  • He can tell time.
  • He is learning to play the piano.
  • Of all his paperwork that he's brought home from school (about 200 pieces), only 2 (TWO!) have been less than 100% correct.

All of this and more in just 4 months of Kindergarten! We are blessed with the best school and best teacher we could have imagined! On top of all that he is learning, I have to say that he is so polite, respectful and loving. A complete JOY to his mommy's heart.
