Before heading off to school Monday morning I noticed Declan's size 5 pants looked a little shorter than I'd remembered. Decided to check his height and no surprise the kid is now 3 feet 10 inches tall. He's a giant!
Monday was also Declan's 2nd time being Super Student. He chose "Boo" - his toy ghost from Mario bros as his "What's in the bag" item for the Super Student game. He practiced in the morning how he would describe it for the class "It is white", "It starts with "Go", "it ends with "St" and "rhymes with most". He said the kids guest it and one "even knew it was from Super Mario!"
As a part of the jobs as Super Student you pick someone to walk with you to the Principals Office with the attendance. Declan told us he picked Broden again to walk with him. We asked if anyone's ever picked him and he said no. He told us he always puts up his hand but that nobody ever picks him. Daddy's heart broke. I have to say though that I'm really proud of him for being the kid who keeps putting up his hand to volunteer even after numerous times that he hasn't been chosen. Resilience and persistence. Nice job Declan!
Wednesday night we have decorating our tree on the agenda. You better believe I'm picking him as my helper.
