- Andrew did awesome today at school! He did great and we really enjoyed getting to know him.
- Andrew was a performer today, but appropriately! He was our comic relief this afternoon during a game of "Ms. Darcy says..." He was so clever and hilarious with all his responses.
- Andrew has already made an awesome impression on all of us and we are very excited to get to know him more this Summer!
The part about him "performing" had us laughing. In 2nd grade he never finished lunch because he was always too busy trying to perform in front of his classmates. It's an endearing quality, but gets in the way of his eating and academics. He is totally aware of why he doesn't eat during school lunch- "Mom, I am always too busy 'performing' for my friends and I really want attention!" It gets so bad that the lunch ladies end up separating him from classmates and make him eat alone at a small school desk. His need to perform reminds me of church yesterday. All the kids gathered on stage while the adults were singing them in, and Andrew stood there at the center of the stage directing the song (like a choir director) with his long skinny arms. There were a lot of laughs, but he kept a straight and serious face. Afterward, when we drove home, he was beaming with pride about it. I swear I'll be shocked if he doesn't become a Thespian of the stage in high school!
