Miles has not called Adam "Yo-Yo" in several weeks.
On one hand, I'm happy that his speech is improving so much so that he can say "Adam" with clarity (although sometimes it's said sloppier than others). On the other, I've been missing his little "Yo-Yo?" calls throughout the day, because it also means that Miles is getting bigger. Less of a baby, more of a little boy. One who is too big for nicknames, I guess.
It was cute while it lasted. So cute, actually.
And I'll admit, I still call Adam "Yo" every once in a while. Someone has to.

Kindergarten Conference Recap
Last week I sat down with Adam's teacher for a brief visit to discuss his progress thus far.
Not surprisingly, he is doing very well in Kindergarten this year. His teacher commented on how he was her "little man," meaning that he was mature and wise beyond his Kindergarten years. She appreciates his ability to laugh and be silly at appropriate times, yet reign it in when it is time to focus on the tasks at hand. He gets along well with others, and is meeting all of the developmental milestones at this time.
We both chuckled about his dislike for anything that has to do with coloring, cutting, or gluing - something they do a LOT of in his class. She told me he asks her every day "do I have to color this?" He would much rather be doing numbers (simple math problems, usually) or writing his letters than coloring. Anything but coloring!
He is very interested in his music class this month, as they are learning about Beethoven and his 5th Symphony (among other works). Needless to say, I am very happy to oblige when asked "can we listen to Beethoven?" Yes, yes we can.
Other favorite parts about school include recess, "free choice time," and of course, lunch. He loves to sit with his best buddies and talk about whatever it is boys talk about while they eat their lunch.
Praise God that he's enjoying his school year thus far, and pray that the rest of the year goes just as well. I have a feeling he'll be reading very soon!
