so i know he's young but we decided it best to enroll him in school now. and i'm happy to say that he is already at the top of his class after only 1 day of school. he loves learning and best of all his p.e. class where he threw the football the farthest. i know he'll be a strait A student. we are so lucky.

he's enjoying circle time.
