My Sparkie

I have done a few posts about K girl lately, so I thought I'd do one about C. This is his first year in Sparks, and I think he has done very well. He has already finished his book and is going thru it for the second time. He only has 4 more sections to say and he will have done it for the second time thru. I'm not sure what they are going to have him do after that. We have at least 8 more nights left. I am very proud of him.

For those of you who were in AWANA a long time ago (me too) and haven't seen the "new" AWANA stuff, here is a picture of his book this year. I have a "pro and a con" with these new books. Pro: they are very nice looking. Con: they have been "dumbed" down. Not to say they are easy, but easier than I remember them being. He still has had to learn passages (i.e. John 3:14-16) and the books of the New Testament. I was impressed when he learned the books of the NT. He picked them right up and weeks later when he reviewed them, he needed very little help in remembering them. He is so smart--when he thinks.

***Update: C finished his book for the second time this past Wednesday night. Good job, bubby! But now I really don't know what he is going to do for the rest of the year***

Good job, Caleb. You are just like your daddy--they couldn't figure out what to do with him either. I like the new books. I think AWANA is a great program.
