report card and thank you note

Scanning in Garrison's report card after school makes posting on the blog really easy!  Today when we picked up G from school, his teacher said, "He had a GREAT day!!! He went to sleep all by himself on his mat.  And when he woke up, he was content and just stayed on his mat!" 

We have been trying hard to not rock him to sleep and just let him go to sleep on his own.  We will sit in his room while he's in his crib.  Every few minutes he will pop his head up and look at us, making sure we are still in the room.  We say he pops his head up like a turtle.

Mrs. Robin also said he played with the trucks outside on the playground.  Sweet boy.

On the first day of school we gave her a gift certificate for Beans and Cream.  She wrote us a thank you note.  I want to teach Garrison how important it is to be grateful and to thank people for gifts.  This is something I'm not very good at and really admire in other people.  I want him to appreciate things, not just expect people to give him stuff.
