Happy Holidays from Marty!

Our Christmas Card...CLICK TO ENLARGE


Dear Family and Friends,

Tomorrow night is it! The final decision will be made...will I have made the cut? It will be close! I hope I made the list. Just to get in a final good word, I visited Santa again tonight. I wanted to make sure he remembers me. And, I'm not sure how many times Mommy has actually talked to him. If she has as many times as she says...well it's coal for me! My friend, Ethan's Mom actually has Santa's phone number on Speed Dial of her cell phone! Man is he in trouble!!

I first put in my bid for a Lego table back when Santa first arrived in Allen around Thanksgiving. He seemed to really take a liking to me and remember me from last year. I thought I had it in the bag...so to speak! Here I am with him last month...

Then things got a little rough at school. I was moved to the Kindergarten class. Seems as though I can do Kinder level work...when I apply myself- though I'm not sure what that means yet. I know I'm reading pretty well for a 4 year old. But I sure do like to play at school! And, that does get me into trouble! I get a grade every day at school. An "E" is best. That's what Mommy and Daddy like to see every day. It means "excellent." A "G" means "good" and an "NI" is really bad- it means "needs improvement." I've only gotten that once, and let me tell you- it was a bad day! Lately I've been getting more G's than E's. You'd think that "good" would be good, but it's really not! Am I making sense? It's all very confusing. I think we just need Santa's system at school- "Naughty" or "Nice!" But I'm afraid of which list I'd be on!!

Anyway, back to what I was saying about Santa.... so today Mommy and I met Grandma, J.D. and Carley at the Gaylord Texan Hotel to see Santa one last time. Here's the photo from tonight- me and Santa. I made sure he knew that I'd be at Grandma and John Daddy's House on Christmas Eve. And I reminded him of the Lego table that I'd like to have. He didn't say no, so I'm assuming I'm still on the list!!

I hope that you are on the list too! From me, Mommy and Daddy- Have a wonderful Christmas or celebrated holiday of your choice! You can bet you'll be hearing from me in 2009!

Love ya lots,

Marty a.k.a. Jean-Martin Garabet Vaneskahian

Marty's Progress With Sight Words

Marty is now 4 and a quarter years old. We have been working on his academic skills every single day. I am very happy with his progress and wanted to show off some of his skills with the sight words.




Watch the video below of Marty's sight words. We add to this list daily.
