Time is FLYING by!!

I know we say this all the time but it is so hard to believe that it is December already.  It feels like last week that we were building Reece up for meeting his Kindergarten teacher.  Today he got his first report card.  Of course being his parents, we think he is doing amazing with his academic growth but to have the teacher grade him on his progress was a bit nerve-racking.  His teacher warned the class that it is okay for children to score 1 and 2, as they are just learning and will need improvement still. Well, Reece assured us yesterday as soon as he got in the car he will be getting 3's and 4's!  (The grades are on a scale of 1 - 4 with 4 being the highest).  Well as usually Reece was right!!!  Reece's report card shows he is doing awesome.
We can only hope this continues for the next 16 years + of school.  
It is today I recall something my parents always told me when it came to our report cards " sure grades are important but if you put forth your best effort, the grades are secondary!"  This is what excites us the most about Reece- his effort and excitement to learn new things everyday.
As Reece told us "looks like I will be getting everything I asked Johnny for Christmas!"
