September 2012

September bought some playing, some soccer, some dance classes, and some beach time...

Gracie started her 4 year old pre-k class.  Her teacher is Ms. Bullard.  She attends 5 days  a week this year!

Gracies decided that playing soccer wasn't just for her big brother this year as well.  And I decided to give coaching a try.  Luckily, while I coached Elijah's team, a friend of ours coached Grace's team at the same time.  It worked out well.  We had the big kids, and the little siblings were on the other team.

Both teams played well.  I think our team scored a whooping 4 goals (the whole season) but they improved so much over the season!   Grace's team did well too.  They all had fun, and that's the most important thing!

And Grace went on her first field trip of the year to the farm!

And while it was insanely busy... I apparently didn't take any more pics.  heh.

FIRST DAY!!!

Elijah started kindergarten today.  And quite frankly, I thought I would be a blubbering mess... And ALMOST did because of my loving husband.  sigh.  but I made it through.  Grace had a super hard time without her brother here all day... but of course, when he got home, they fought.  sigh.  Grace will start her preschool in a couple of weeks, and I may really break down then.  Both my babies away from me... eek!!

Anyway, Elijah did great!  He told me he had fun, there were frisbees flying in the road (apparetnly), and lobsters being built and knocked down, chickens drawn, and new friends introduced, and oh yeah, they read The Kissing Hand (he came home and drew me a kissing hand and THAT almost made me turn into a blubbering mess!), and there was a slew of instructions about the Green Folder (yes, it deserves caps) and what happens with it, and there were two books that he got to look at during rest time... all the books are silly books in the class.

AND after a moment of panic (my child was not waiting for me to be picked up....)  the first thing out of his mouth before even buckling his seat belt, "Mommy, I had a great day at school!"

I'm so glad!!
