So we started school this week. Yeah! Kim is in middle school and has LOVED it so far. Her least favorite thing is that she's tired a lot because we are getting up at 6:00 am to be ready in time. She is very organized - makes her own lunch the night before, gets herself up and ready, checks her school planner all the time, and gets her homework done (so far...). She ran the mile and wants to improve her time, so we are going to practice at least once a week at home as well as at school.
Abby seems to be enjoying school. She has also jumped on the "make her own lunch" bandwagon. It's fabulous! Now if we could just get something more than crackers and cookies in there... She is starting ice skating lessons next week, so watch out Olympians!
Eric had a great first day of kindergarten. He gave his teacher an apple (all his own idea). I guess there were quite a few parents in the room when he gave it to her and they all thought it was very sweet. I figure he'll probably need all the points he can get. He flew through the pre-screening last week, so I'm not really worried about him in that way. He had quite a challenging soccer game on Saturday, though. He wanted to kick the ball hard instead of dribbling it and then got mad when it didn't go it the goal. Then it was too hot. Then they weren't using his ball. Then he kept "falling". Anyway, it can only get better next week, I hope.
Jessica WILL be potty-trained this month. School has started and we have some time before all the volunteering, etc... hits hard. She seems to have her moments of interest. Let's hope it goes quickly. She's certainly smart enough. I was asking her what we should make for Eric when he got home from school. I suggested a grilled cheese sandwich. She said that SHE would eat the grilled cheese sandwich and Eric would get a "boy" cheese sandwich. Crazy girl!
Otherwise, life is good and we are doing pretty well. It's fun to read up on everyone else's doings, so keep writing - I'll try too!
