Calvin just had his first day of first grade, and he loved it. He has a nice teacher who we have heard good things about, and some of his friends are in his class. He was excited about getting to stay all day at school this year and about having 2 recesses! He had such a good day that he got a certificate from his teacher, which he was very proud of. He even learned something-how to count to 7000. Well, that's what he said anyway.
Out the door to walk to school. Abbey was excited to walk with him, but a little sad that he would be gone all day. Luckily, she kept busy playing with friends all day.
Sitting at his table ready for a fun filled day of learning.
Calvin wasn't the only one with an exciting week-Abbey learned to ride her bike without training wheels!! She just mastered it on Monday, and she's already a pro. She is very proud of herself and now loves her bike even more than she did before. Of course, it is extra beautiful since we decorated it with bows and beads. How did I get a girly girl?
Soccer season is upon us again. This is Calvin's 3rd year and Abbey's 2nd. They both love it, and it has been fun for the whole family. The games are fun, they don't keep score so it's just fun, no pressure. Calvin loves playing defense, especially goalie, and he saved 3 goals during their jamboree game. Abbey loves practice and getting snacks after the game, we are still working on getting it through her head that she can't get mad when someone else kicks the ball, she thinks she should kick it or get off the field. We'll get there someday. At least she likes the practices.
