I know, right?! How is he 6.5 years old already! It's like I blinked and he's suddenly a boy. Not a toddler. Not a preschooler. A very opinionated, passionate, energetic boy.
Evan's in Mrs. Ropert's Kindergarten class this year and he's thriving! Reading level D/E books independently, killing it on his math assignments, making new friends (even a "girlfriend" this year), and drawing/coloring up a storm. His NWEA scores were fantastic this winter, as he's ahead of the mark for both reading and math. He loves to come home school and go straight to the playroom desk to color or draw. This week he drew "Evan's Planet" and went into detail about how close it was to the sun and how it had spikes on it to keep others out. When he gets an idea in his head, it's always something elaborate.
He recently got an award at school for positive behavior, signed by the principal. His teacher also sent him a postcard letting him know that his story he wrote, "The Sad Cheese" was awesome. It really was! He's sounding words out and writing really well (in our opinion). We couldn't be more proud of his progress at school!
His favorite friends at school this year are Sean (not his brother), Jude, and Jace. He still really likes Logan (girl Logan) from Young 5's last year that's in Mrs. Ropert's class with him this year. And little Bella had quite the infatuation with him all fall. Drawing pictures of them getting married, trying to kiss him at recess.
He's loving all the fun Kindergarten holidays and celebrations this year at school. They just recently celebrated the 100th day of school where he had to make a cape. He chose to glue on raffle tickets to say that he has been "winning" for 100 days this year. He made a leprechaun trap to take to school this week too.
Outside of school we wrapped up fall activities through November. We took December and January off as a break from soccer and swimming. The boys took an art class one day during Christmas break that was awesome. Evan's artwork came out great! We hung it and put it on the wall outside of his bedroom. He's currently in a soccer clinic every Friday evening at The Pitch to get ready for spring outdoor soccer. It's run through the travel soccer team in Plymouth, Reign. He'll start both soccer with Scott as his coach again and machine-pitch baseball with our neighbor, Jameson, the beginning of April.
He's still loving the idea of being into motorcycles, 4 wheelers, and guitars. He spent his $20 on dirt bike gloves and had to pose by the 4 wheeler at Costco last weekend. He cracks us up! He's also adding RC Speedboats into the rotation for his current obsession. He got one from Santa and can't wait to take it up north to try out on the lake with Pops. He's quite the daredevil. I'm sure we'll have our hands full with him as he's a teenager.
He's around 47lbs. and 47" tall. He's wearing size 6 in pants and shirts and a size 12 in shoes. He's added a few things to his "will eat" list like grilled cheese, grilled chicken, and salami sandwiches on toasted sub buns now. Although, he's given up a lot of pizza brands and won't eat mac and cheese anymore either. At least he'll eat fruits and veggies. My little snacker...
We are so proud of him! Even though he can be a feisty little guy at times with that attitude, he has a good heart and he knows what he wants.
