John- 6 Years Old and a Kindergardener!


Johnny started Kindergarden this year at Deer Creek Elementary in King City. It's a beautiful school and John is proud that the mascot is a Buck. Dad likes that too:) His teacher, Mrs. Espy is fabulous! She is super fun and cool and kind and when I talk to her I just can't stop talking I want to hang out with her. She is a huge Duck fan which is awesome. She's been teaching for 20 years and has taught K through 8th grade. She loves teaching Kindergarden; she loves the kids so much and it radiates from her.

John loves school and his teachers; he is learning a lot. He goes 5 days a week for 2 1/2 hours. He catches the bus at 11:35am which means he still sleeps-in everyday and gets to play for awhile before we get ready to go. We pick him up at the bus stop at 2:45pm so I get 3 hours and 10 minutes with just Jake and me.

After school, John is excited to see me and Jake; he hugs and kisses us both and holds my hand immediately. About 20 kids pile out of the bus at his stop and me and Jake are the only people waiting for a kid. When we walk back to the house John always tells me he has "cool stuff" to show me. It's usually a lot of art work. He loves to draw pictures of football players and skateboarders. When homework is sent home in a packet monthly (they don't return it to school) he wants to do the whole packet at once and usually will finish it before I even know he was working on it. He loves to count to 100 or 200 or more as fast as he can. He loves to try and read . He loves to write his name and names of things he loves like Vikings Football or Super Mario or Star Wars and Anankin.

John is growing so fast. He has his dad's long legs. The size 6 jeans he got for school clothes this fall are now high-waters (growth spurt!) so we are onto size 7s. But he still has the waist of a skinny 5 year old. No fat on his wirey body. He loves to wear Jerseys: Ducks and Minnesota Vikings. He is super into Ducks Football and the NFL. He'll say he is "John 'LaMichael' Allison" He will sit and watch football with Mike and is learning a lot about the game. His favorite Wii and DS games are Madden Football, Star Wars Lego and Harry Potter Lego. His favorite movies/shows are Harry Potter movies, Diary of a Wimpy Kid 1 & 2, A Christmas Story, Charlie Brown Cartoons, Looney Toons. He still loves to quote movies and immitate voices.

John is very wiggly and can hardly ever sit still. Even when I'm reading to him he is moving all around and fidgeting, but he is listening to the story because he'll comment on it. He loves to wrestle and dance and flip around and show me his gymnastics moves. He loves to play tag and catch. He is athletic and good at sports but he is also very clumsy. He always knocking things over and running into things and tripping over toys. "Whoops! I didn't see that there!!"

John turned 6 years old November 2, 2011. Had a Power Rangers theme surprise party at Papa's Pizza in Beaverton. Grammy and Grandpa, Wilson Family, Farkas Family, Waples Family and Leslie came. John was surprised to see everyone and get lots of gifts. The kids had fun and John was very thankful. On the ride home he said, "I sure had a great birthday party!"

This Christmas John asked Santa for "The new Lego Harry Potter Wii game, a Minnesota Vikings Jersey, and a Spiderman Lego Mini figure, and a Lego airpane." Santa was good to him. Jake gave him the Spiderman Mini Figure. Santa also gave John a Harry Potter Lego, a Pittsburg Steelers uniform, Skylanders Wii game, and Madden Football 3DS game. He got SpyGear walkie talkies and watch from Will, Halo guy from Aunt Leslie, Mario Galaxy Wii game and a book from Grammy and Grandpa, Harry Potter DS game and Star Wars Lego from Grandpa and Grandma Allison.

John is still a tender hearted little man. He'll sometimes cry because he misses his Dad or he's thinking about going away to college or me dying or something. He'll ask me if I will stay with him forever "even when I'm married?" So sweet. He loves Jake, John will look at baby pictures of Jake and tear up and say he misses "that baby Jake." He loves his kitties and treats them very special. He confides in them when he is angry with mom. He can also be a pill and I yell at him a lot for being naughty. Mostly John is silly and funny and happy and polite and respectful. He wants to please me and dad and loves the praise when he does well. He is a sweet boy who loves his family immensely.
