Payton with his "pet" horny toad, Rocky-he's no longer a pet and was returned to the wild-
So this week is SEP week--although i can't remember what SEP stands for. Payton is out of school all week because of the great Kindergarten testing that is being done. Monday morning Payton woke up, got dressed and came in ready for school. When I told him he didn't have school that morning he started to cry...YES, CRY! He really wanted to go to school. Todd said, "Write this down for something to remember. When he gets older, this will never happen!"
Well, Tuesday he got to meet with his teacher and show off his stuff. In true Payton style he answered every question! It was funny because I was listening to the little girl being tested just before him and if she didn't know the answer, she just said, "I don't know." Not Payton. He had to answer EVERY QUESTION even if it was wrong. I think he gets that from Grandpa Turek. Always have an answer for everything.
His teacher told me how well he was doing in school and shared a story about how he shows interest in one little boy that has some "challenges" that requires help from an aid in the classroom. Payton really likes this little boy and has told me a number of times about Eann, his friend.
This morning we all got up because I had to work. Payton came in again with his school clothes, shoes and back pack and said, "I'm ready for school!" I just looked at him and smiled thinking how great it is he loves school. Then I broke the news to him again. Same reaction. More tears. Can't wait for Tuesday to roll around so we can get this boy back to school. At least we'll have something to do this weekend to occupy they boy. It's the Wynn Turek Reunion on Cedar Mountain!! Yippeee!!!

Poor kindergartners They finally get to go and are so excited and they are the ones that are off the whole week!! When Brooklyn found out that the Kindergarten had no school this whole week, she said "No fair!" She says that a lot lately!!
Carson is the same way, he couldn't wait for this Labor Day weekend. It's funny how quickly it changes. Enjoy it while it lasts.
Oh, I feel bad for him! Bekah has SEP's a week from tomorrow, but they still go everyday from 8:30-10:30. Hope you had a great time at your reunion!
Zoe was sad about missing school as well. It's good for her to be back. She thinks kindergarten is the best thing!
thanks for the kind words over on my blog.
