Talking Justin started Kindy 3 weeks ago....

... and I'm just now getting his 1st day pictures posted!

I only got pictures at home, but here they are:

My big boy...


Ready to go (sporting his new booboo on his finger...)


Goofball always (and why he gets in trouble at school!)


And this one isn't school but one of him on his new bike that he just earned the money for!


That's all folks!

Re: Justin started Kindy 3 weeks ago....

How cute!

He sure has gotten much taller than the last time I saw him.

The goofball picture made me 100% sure that our boys, if they spent time together, would be on an episode of Cops.


Hey, if you let Justin go to UT, then they could be roomies.

Re: Justin started Kindy 3 weeks ago....

Awww - thanks!! He does enjoy school, although he has a bit of a "talking" problem that we're having to work on. His teacher is great, though, and I hope after another few weeks he will settle down, but there's no telling! He does like to be the class clown.... (sigh...) - but he is a fun kid.

As for earning money for his bike, here's a "cut-n-paste" from a current e-mail on my other board where I was discussing it...(the question asked was about allowance...)

Justin doesn't get an allowance just yet, but he can earn "money" by doing chores. For example, he really wanted a new bike (which was $70). We knew he had outgrown his other one, so we made a deal. I told him we would pay for half of it, but that he would have to earn 35 "bike bucks" for his half. I gave him a list of chores with pictures that he posted up on his door and each chore was worth one "bike buck." (I made actual slips of paper on the computer with a picture of a bike and the words "bike buck" on them). Each time he did a chore off of that list WITHOUT us asking him to, he earned a bike buck. Took him about 3 1/2 weeks, but he finally earned his bike!! He actually gave the lady at WalMart the 35 bike bucks too - (I whispered to her just to take them and throw them out after we left - she was confused at first but caught on...) His list of chores went something like this:

- make bed
- clear the dinner table (everyone's dishes)
- choose a healthy dessert
- read a book to Mommy or Daddy
- wipe down the sink/counter after brushing teeth
- feed the dog
- help Mommy sort laundry

.... and a few more to choose from that I can't remember. Worked like a charm!!

Re: Justin started Kindy 3 weeks ago....

I love the pics of Justin. The first one he looks sooooo tall and grown up! I'm glad he likes school and the talking thing will probably settle down soon enough.

Great idea about the bike bucks!! I think I'll try that with the new Lego Star Wars xbox game that Jacob wants. It would teach him a lot of lessons at once.

Re: Justin started Kindy 3 weeks ago....

He's such a cute little guy! I'm glad he's doing okay at school. He looks like he has a personality a lot like Caleb's. Way to go on earning a bike! He looks like such a big kid now!
