Dayton has the same teacher this year in first grade that Mackenzie had as a first grader. After the kids have completed their young author books, she has an evening for the kids to come with their families and read their books to an audience. It is a fun evening. Dayton has always been our shy kid. He would rarely look someone in the eye or acknowledge some one's greeting. But last night he confidently stood up and read his story for all to hear. Perhaps his shy streak is over.Dayton is perhaps the tallest first grader ever...he is taller than Mackenzie and a good head taller than all of his classmates. Watching him stand at the podium last night and then seeing those kids that followed him it was pretty obvious that he is a giant.
Dayton and Leyton
While doing a unit on measuring, Dayton needed to bring in a baby picture and a string that was the same length as he was when he was born. Then they made flowers showing how tall they are now compared to then.

Wow, it's hard to believe that Dayton is already in the 1st grade. He's so cute and it's good to hear that his shy streak may be over! Zach still struggles around adults...it's painful to watch.
Yay Dayton! What a fun night.
(And cute little Barbara.)
