Seriously, I have spent the last five years of my life trying to mold this little being into a respectable, smart, polite little man. I would be lying if I always felt like I have been successful with this endeavor. But hopefully Soren’s incredible success in school is proof that I (and my village)have not been a total failure. Soren’s school transition has been flawless! Not only have I not been called regarding any well-described and planned out threats that have come out of my creative little man’s mouth, but he has come home with a few awards for good behavior! Huh? Is this Soren we’re talking about?!
Soren comes home each day from school and describes his day as nothing less than “great!” He is so excited by the new friends he is making. He and Timmy play together each day on he playground and each bring new friends from their class into their group. He appears to be following all of the rules. And while my interaction/feedback from his teacher has been limited (I guess that is what happens when your kid goes to school), the feedback I have gotten from Ms. DeBeck is, “he is really funny!” and “he’s having a great year”. After just one month, Soren is showing a whole new level of interest and focus in art projects and writing work. His artwork is already way more detailed than it has ever been. 
And while Soren has been able to explain neurons, tell jokes, and read anyone’s emotions for quite some time, he has struggled (or shown no interest) in even reciting his ABCs. This week he came home flawlessly singing the ABC song. He is starting to sound out words, and trying to spell new words. I really think that Ms. DeBeck is a miracle worker! Soren’s favorite class is music class because he made up a silly song and then the other kids are started following suit—so yeah, my studious little Soren is still full of his silliness!
If Soren has grown this much in just one month, I can’t even begin to imagine what he will able to do by the end of the year…my little baby really is growing up!
