I have taught kindergarten, and this is really the hardest struggle for most of them. K is all about learning what it means to be in school and following the rules & routines of the class. I am sure he is not alone in this struggle. I had the cutest little girls say to me (age 4, in September of her Junior Kindergarten year) "You can't make me put these crayons away!" She was pretty sure I couldn't too! Of course, I said, "Right, but I can make you miss play time if the crayons aren't put away." Guess who won that fight! <em><strong>I love the crayon story! Well, he got a yellow that day for talking out of turn and it was so hard to hear him say that his prayer wasn't answered that night! More teaching moments for mom and dad....but today he came home with a bright green one and some fun notes about how good he was today and even how he helped a new girl! So it's coming! :)</strong></em> Ok…so now we are in suspense…did he make it through the day without a yellow sticker???

What a sweet story. Sometimes it's so hard to do what we know is right. Sometimes we need help. But we need to ask for it. You have such a special boy... <em><strong>Thank you!

Sounds like your son really does want to me "good." I can't really say the same about my son. I hope he outgrows it before he has to start kindergarten. <em><strong>ROFL - Maybe he's just keeping you on your toes to see if you're paying attention...it's nice to have some sweet moments to help balance all the others we get to experience as parents. ;)</strong></em> What a sweet story.
