Open House

Tonight we stopped by Everett's school for a "Meet the Teacher / Open House". David had never seen E's classroom or met his teachers before. We were both surprised at the things E has learned in his first three weeks of school!

Miss Debbie blew bubbles for Everett and when she said "bubbles" a few times to him, he said "bubbles" right back to her! We didn't even know that he knew that word!
Miss Debbie asked E if he'd like "more bubbles" while using the sign language sign for "more". E responded back with also signing "more". She told us about the other signs they use at school - please, thank you, milk, etc. I bought a book a while back to teach E some signing, but never really worked on it with him. After seeing that he's picking this up at school, we will definitely need to work on it at home with him!
In the background of this picture is Kyle. He's one of E's friends at school. He's a couple months older than E and Miss Debbie says they play well together. Kyle's a very happy kid ... always smiling!

All in all, I'd say school has been such a good thing for Everett. He was fussy most of today and looked so tired and ready for bed before we left for the open house. As soon as we got to his classroom, he was wide-eyed, happy and ready to go!
