Loving school

School is going fairly well for Ethan for the most part. He is still having trouble at times following directions. Last week he was on green all week. If you're not familiar with the color system green means he had a good day, yellow means he broke 2 rules, red means he had a time out, and blue means that we need to expect a call home or a note from his teacher. So last week was a good week. This week he was on green Mon and Tues, then Weds he was on blue. His teacher sent a note home. He was just not following directions and not doing his school work. Yesterday he was on green so a much better improvement from Weds. He loves his teacher and he seems to be making friends fairly well. I've only met 2 of his friends in passing when coming to get him at school but they seem like they get along well. Ethan tells me how funny they are.

He is still doing gymnastics and he loves it. He's moved up into the kindergarden class so he has a new coach this year. I really like the way she teaches the class. When Ethan acts out to get attention she will turn her back and go onto the next kid instead of feeding into the bad behavior. His last coach would raise his voice and put Ethan in time out which never had any effect on the behavior. The ignoring the bad behavior seems to work better. He responds much better to her way of teaching as well. She takes the time to work with each kid individually if they are struggling with a certain exercise. Ethan responds well to it. He's doing new things this year and it's amazing how quickly he picks up on the new work outs. He has no fear and takes everything and anything on. He is an amazing little boy.

Ethan has his Halloween costume all picked out already. He was all about wanting to be Iron Man a week ago and then while shopping at Costco last weekend I found the coolest Fireman costume and showed it to him and now he's going to be a fireman for Halloween LOL. I was looking for an Iron Man costume but they didn't have any in his size. I found the cutest SWAT costume that would have looked adorable on Fin but they didn't have it in his size (that's OK I might find one on EBay for a lot cheaper). Ethan will get a lot of use out of the Fireman costume since he loves to dress like a Fireman then drive his firetruck around so we will get our moneys worth out of it LOL.
