DKH Open House

Beckett's Spring Open House was last week.  I remember when I was teaching how nerve wracking and exhausting it was.  You spend SO much time getting your room ready, trying to prepare the kids, and then are on your feet with a perm smile for hours on end.  
But, from a parent's perspective, it's a pretty good time!  Guy and I were actually a little nervous too - in the past B has not done too well with us being at his school.  He typically cries and hangs on us, which is embarrassing.  So, on the car ride over we kept talking the open house up and trying to be really enthusiastic about it.  He wasn't too sure.

At first he was a little clingy, but then he got really excited to show us all of his artwork.  It was so fun seeing his work compared to the others.  Can you see his self portrait (top left)?  Hilarious.  I do not think he is our Picasso.  

He also got to do two science experiments.  It made me realize that we need to do more of that at home.  

His favorite thing he wanted to show me was Mrs. Griffith's dinosaurs.  I think he could have played the rest of the night with them.  

We did manage to lure him outside.  He wanted to play with the plasma car (he has one at home). Somehow Guy finally convinced him to play on the equipment.  

Little Miss was a good girl.  She happily sat in the car seat and gave smiles to all of the strangers.

It was a fun night!  We are so proud of the progress Beckett has made in school.  DKH is truly a special place and we are so happy that he loves it as much as we do!
