George Alexander

Alex is the oldest and a very bright kid. Sometimes I have to remind myself that he is only 6. He loves to talk and learn new things. He is very active and loves to learn new things. Transformers are one of his favorite toys, and he likes the Transformer cartoons. He loves his little brothers and is a great big brother. Recently he got his own bedroom, which has been great! He and Jake would spend all night talking and playing. I think he likes it.

Alex started kindergarten last fall at East Sandy Elementary and he is really enjoying it. His teacher, Mrs. Wright, is awesome and he loves her. Alex doesn't like to sit still to do his work and sometimes has a difficult time concentrating and Mrs. Wright has been trying to work with him. Every time I talk to her she is always happy and positive. There are very few days Alex has said he doesn't want to go to school. Up to now he has not missed a day, which I think is great! He is learning to read and write and is getting better every day. I think one of his favorite parts of school is recess, but who's isn't? He also likes doing centers, where they rotate and learn about different things like math, reading, writting, art, and listening.

In February Alex turned 6. He also had his first birthday party, which was fun, but a little crazy. I had never done a party before so I didn't quite know what to expect. Alex had fun and that was the important part. We played pin the nose on the snowman, had a marshmellow race and had a cake walk. The kids got to decorate goodie bags, then we had cake and ice cream. Alex's friends brought him nice gifts which he has enjoyed. His party was on Saturday. On Sunday we had the family come over for cake and ice cream. Alex wanted a building on fire with Elmo on top. I'm not sure where he got the idea from, but I think it turned out all right. I wonder what he will want next year....
