Grandparents Day

A couple of weeks ago, DJ's school had Grandparents Day. Fortunately, Mama already had the day off so she joined DJ for the day.

DJ was very excited about Mama coming to Grandparents Day. He wanted Papa to come, too, but he had to work.

Here they are on the way to the cafeteria for lunch.


After stopping by the cafeteria to grab a nutritious lunch of nachos and cheeseburgers, they headed to DJ's class to enjoy their meal and spend the rest of the school day.

After lunch was time on the carpet. The kids get to take turns practicing their reading and finish their show and tell.
DJ's teacher wanted the kids to show their skills to their grandparents, so DJ had a chance to get up there and show Mama his reading skills.



It's amazing that after only 2.5 months in school, he is reading!!!! He is doing great with the 1-4 letter words and is trying to read the bigger ones. He LOVES reading and his teacher called him the "King of the Reading Log" at school because he tries to bring a reading log (of 10 books read) each week. They only need to submit one a month, but so far, I think DJ is up to 10 for the school year.
We are so glad he is enthusiastic about learning! I hope he keeps it up!!!
And here's a picture of the supportive baby brother. :)
