We survived the first semester of Lydia's first grade. We dropped dance this fall thank goodness. Lydia has homework every night or I at least make her because this learning to read stuff is hard work. We did try out soccer again. I ended up coaching Sadi and Jon helped coach Lydia. Sadi was over it the first couple of times and says she just wants to go to school, and Lydia is not competitive but will probably continue to be with friends. Funny how your kids turn out so different from you.
We started the break out with nice weather. Winston thinks he's big like the girls and tries whatever they do.
He also loves shoes. Thank goodness here he chose Papaw's boots instead of some of Sadi's pink or cheetah print shoes (his normal preference).
We started the holidays earlier than normal because Jonathan worked almost every day this holiday. The kids didn't mind. They just enjoyed cousin time! Poor Winston is surrounded by girls. He even threw a fit because he didn't get a headband in his stocking.
Winston serenaded us as we decorated the tree. He thinks he needs the songbook, too. He is very determined and expresses it loudly.
