Bryson grew a lot this year. He has always been smart but he learned so much this year not only at school but at home. He can count to 120, can count to 100 by 10's, can write all of his letters and numbers 1-20, and can write anything that you show him. He loves drawing. Whenever somebody has a birthday, he makes them a card. Not only does it save money on a store bought card but he gets to practice his writing and he gets to draw whatever he wants which is something he loves to do. He is also reading short books with some help. He recognizes a lot of sight words and with help, has been able to sound out words to read an entire book. It takes him a long time to read a book but the more he has practiced, the better he has gotten. Robert has made a habit of getting him to read just about every night at bedtime.Instead of him reading the bedtime story to Bryson, he gets Bryson to read it to him. I'm amazed at how smart he has become!
He had a lot of special friends this year in Pre-K but his two best friends were Lucy and Mackenzie. He always told me that Lucy was his girlfriend and Mackenzie was his best friend. It's a little sad that he won't be with either of them this year, but Lucy is right next door to him at big school.
I knew at graduation I would probably cry my eyes out, but I tried my best not to since I not only had to be there as a parent, but as a teacher too. I couldn't cry on stage while trying to give my class their awards and help them sing their songs. It was hard, but I managed to make it through the entire thing without crying. I got teary eyed, but I didn't cry. I'm so thankful that we have so much family in town that can come support and cheer Bryson on whenever he has a special event. Granna, Papa, Robbie, Martha, Will, Lola, Lisa, Amy, Erin, Eli and Shawn all came to celebrate his special day with us. These last 5 years have flown by. I still can't believe I sent my baby to big school today. Where has the time gone?
