Brian was doing his homework at the kitchen table the other night while I was making dinner. Because he doesn't read independently quite yet, I explained what each page of the booklet was asking him to do, and would then turn around to finish the dinner preparations.
I guess I should have specified that the booklet was asking for bees...of the "bumble" variety. He was working so eagerly and happily...I didn't have the heart to correct him. So, Mrs. Glass his kindergarten teacher, got to see how well Brian takes verbal direction. She didn't seem to mind, so I am hopeful that his following directions literally won't hurt his chances of being promoted to the 1st grade.

Love it! Thanks for sharing that. We are in the midst of recognizing the difference between "B"s and "8"s, it's apparently very confusing.
Hilarious! As a former kinder teacher, it's stuff like this that totally makes the day. Grading 25 pages of Bee pictures is a snore, when you come across a thinker like Brian, it helps to shake things up with a good little chuckle.
Super cute post. That Brian is just too cute!! And you do such a great job of recording it. In case I haven't told you lately: I think you are the BEST!! I'm so glad I know you. You make my day at church, and that, my dear, is saying A LOT!
He's even got good penmanship which is good!!! That's thinking outside the box which is also good!
Love this little story! So cute! I can see Maddie doing the exact same thing!
That is awesome!
He will be so thankful one day that you wrote that down. That is one of those stories that you can all giggle about for years to come!
What a cutie! And yes, amazing penmanship. Especially for a kindergarten BOY! Way to BEE Brian!
Perfect!
So great! Good for him.
Hee hee, that's awesome!
And what good penmanship he has! :0)
lauren, that is so great! i love it!!!!!
Adorable!
He could have drawn little antennae on his B's to make them bees but I like his way better.
Oh I love this...I so do. I taught pre-school for six years...and that is why.
That is one of the cutest things I've ever seen! And his handwriting is soooo legible! Impressive! You are a great mom to chuckle inwardly and let it be...:o)
VERY cute! Isn't it great to have a blog so that your kids can look back on all this one day?
Oh, he is so dang CUTE!!
The B's are facing the right direction and there are 6 of them!!
GOOD FOR HIM!
Love it!
He should get extra credit for thinking outside the box!
I love it! Those B's are very nicely done.
That's why he's so good at "Brush your teeth, put on PJs and get right into bed." Right?
Man, can I just say, every time I'd see your adorable dark-haired Brian in primary, I just wanted to take him home with me. (Although, my girls would have a shock to see what life would be like living with a boy). He is just SO Cute!
Might as well be silly about it now, because once mine were reading they were telling me what to do!... & asking questions like my little 4 year old in a South Carolina bookstore when she saw a book on the counter, "How to change your husband." She just looked at me and said, "Mommy, why? Why change your husband?" Ah, you have such a creative life!
That is really cute! Shows that he is concentrating on what is more important. His letters vs. drawing insects. :)
That is seriously cool,and reminds me of sol's noun page yesterday. he had to write down what the noun was, and instead of writing desk, home, Dad, he wrote "place" "thing," "person," the teacher marked him wrong. I told him she was the wrong one!
Your kids are so fun. I love your blog. Small world about you knowing Flay! We must chat about it later.
So cute! Glad you documented that one.
This is great! he is so smart!
Tooooooo cute. My husband was coaxing our 2-year-old to say "I love you" in the phone to his aunt. When he mumbled it, Jamie said, "Say it again." And what did Bode say? "Again." :-)
That is so cute. You should capitilize on his ability to follow verbal directions...while he's still willing.
I love it! You said B's. Maybe he was chanelling President Hinkley. I'm sure that teacher loved this as much as we all do.
That is so cute! What a good listener he is. I am so glad you documented that!
Sweet. I think his way was much more clever.
I LOVE that!
Hey... I would have done what he did!! Smart child.

now that is just darn right adorable and I must say quite accurate.
