Only To Be Just Like Daddy

Wes is always wanting to be like his daddy! So sweet! With a serious face he tells me sometimes he is needing to work, and he'll head to the computer or get some tools out. And yes, he even needs to shave every once and awhile!

Tonight I again let Wes read a book to me. This one was a lot longer and harder. No problem. How is it that one day he can't read at all and the next he can read it all? I'm afraid he'll be shaving before I know it, too!

Reading 101

Wes has been learning blends at school and they just finished the alphabet a week or so ago. He knows a lot of words of course but just from memorizing them not from sounding them out. Last night we pulled out some beginning reader books (Thanks, Summer!) and what do you know. Wes sounded out every word all by himself. He had a smile on his face after every word he said!!! Thanks Mrs. Smith for teaching Wes to read and great job Wes for paying attention in school.

Christmas Tree

Saturday afternoon we headed out to get our Christmas tree. We usually have great luck at Home Depot so we started there. We found one rather quickly and headed home. Wes and I had fun hanging the lights and ornaments on the tree! Maybe I'll try to take a night picture so the lights show! I let Wes have colored lights on the tree this year even though my preference is all white. He was so excited about that. I'm enjoying the colored lights just knowing Wes is loving having them.

Thanksgiving Weekend

We had a great Thanksgiving. We spent the entire day with the Tindel side, lots of fun and food! The rest of our time was spent putting up Christmas and just having fun as a family. One of Wes's favorite things to do this time of year is rake leaves and make a huge pile. The weather has been pretty warm around here so we don't have a ton of leaves that have fallen yet. Maybe in a few weeks we can make a huge pile.
What easy fun!

Where's Wes?

I love this guy!
