First Day of School

Today was a big morning in the Foster household as Brady headed off to school! He's going to The Woodlands Young Learners Academy, which is very near our house and was just opened at the beginning of the school year last year. We went in and took a couple pictures, and then his class was out at the playground, so we took him out there. He immediately ran to the equipment and began playing with the kids as if he'd been there a million times. We wondered whether or not we should disturb him to tell him good-bye, but we did call to him, and he ran right down, gave us each a kiss, waved, and then went right back to playing. We were so proud of him, but a little forlorn, too, at the thought of how big he's gotten so quickly!

Here he is in his uniform and backpack, all ready to go!

Here we have arrived and are just about to go find his room.

Brady fell asleep on the floor this weekend with his ham & cheese sandwich in his hand!

Here he is with his dinosaur outfit from Grammie and Papa (wish he could wear this to school instead of a uniform...oh well)

'Court!'

So one morning this week, we were just getting started for the day. I was still in bed, Brandon was getting ready for his shower, and Brady was playing at his train table. Suddenly, I heard this little voice shout, 'Court...where is the top of the mountain?' I thought I must have mis-heard, so I didn't answer. Then it came a second time, only louder and more insistent, 'COURT! Where is the top of the mountain?' It was Brady (of course). He's a clever little bugger...though he's never said my name before, apparently he's heard Brandon say it and made himself a mental note.

Sorry - no pics to accompany this little Foster Fun Fact.

Brady reads his first book!

This morning, Brady and I were playing, and suddenly I realized that he was sitting down 'reading' through a book that I haven't read to him in weeks! I was able to get some of it on video with my cell phone.

It's long (mostly for grandparents), so just shut it off when you get bored.
