Christian is very excited to go to 1st grade. He got a letter from his new teacher last weekend, welcoming him to first grade. He starts back to school on the 6th. Christian’s favorite part of Kindergarten was recess, so I know he’s looking forward to seeing his friends more than anything. He’s been doing well with his reading over the summer. His Kindergarten teacher sent home a workbook he was working through and suggested he finish it before 1st grade. He only has one page left, and he’s done great. I think I’ll make sure he has something like that to work on next summer too… it’s been a great way to keep his mind working in positive ways 🙂
It will be weird for us to send him to school without meeting his teacher first… I guess his school only does orientation for Kindergarten parents. The rest of the grades have a curriculum night on the 22nd of September. I’m looking forward to that. I hope it will be a fun school year for him.
Alyson has learned to pull herself up this week and she has started cruising a little bit… my oh my is she ever busy now 🙂 Monday is her next doctor’s appointment. I’ll be interested to find out what she weighs now.
Hopefully we’ll get our annual family portraits done in a couple of weeks… I definitely don’t want to wait until December this year!
I think that’s it for now… I’m not even going to start ranting about work (at least tonight).
