spotlight on Brett

(I'm just going to completely gloss over the fact that I haven't blogged in over two months.)

Brett on his last day of First grade
 
Brett's school year had it's ups and downs, but he worked hard, learned a lot, and had fun.  He has become a good reader and loved his teachers.

Brett has participated in two activities this summer.  First off, he was on a baseball team.  In first grade, the coach pitches.  They still batted through the lineup each inning, and outs and runs didn't mean anything until the tournament at the end of the season.  The team finished 3rd.  The coaches were incredibly supportive of Brett and another child with special needs and Brett became a pretty consistent hitter.

Second, Brett has been taking swimming lessons.  He has gone from being afraid to even enter the pool to bobbing is head under water with no hesitation and practicing many strokes!  We are so proud of him!
When asked what his favorite thing to do is, Brett answers going to the playground.  He also loves playing catch and wrestling.  He likes to draw and make things.  What a fun, fun kid.
