My Big Boy!

Now that I have gone back to work, Fletcher is in pre-school...and he LOVES school! It was not easy to make the transition back to the working world, but it has been so good for him. It's amazing how much he has grown up in the last few months. He actually talks now, and we even understand some of it. He points to every school bus we see in the mornings shouting "I shool bus". No, I did not misspell that, it just sounds that way.


His book bag is almost as big as he is, but he wears it proudly. When I pick him up he's always in the sandbox playing with his friend, Beck. Apparently, they are inseparable all day. Ms. Cathy, his teacher, says he is busy, but a wonderful listener. She frequently finds him playing in the sink, and he tells her "Fetch wash hans". We didn't really give him an easy name to say, did we?


Busy doesn't even begin to describe him. The bath is the only place I can get a good picture because he's constantly moving everywhere else. And when I look at that chipped tooth, I fear I am in for many years of busy.


It's alright though, he's still very sweet. He hugged me last week and said, "I wuv you mummy". The sweetest words I've ever heard!


He has a bit of a stubborn and impatient streak...and I can't image where that came from. He can count to ten, but apparently 7 and 8 are interchangeable and sometimes unnecessary. We are working on the alphabet, and he can get to G (but he skips E). When I try to help him, he yells "Mummy, sop!". Hopefully, we can get past this when he needs help with homework.


He loves to help Daddy with anything, so when Mark decide to touch up the walls Fletcher had to get his own roller to help. Most of the marks where his doing, so it was the least he could do. I think he "painted" every wall in the house.


He was so focused, I could barely get him to break for lunch. I hope he keeps that work ethic forever.
