Brandon’s soccer game last Saturday was a little closer than the last two had been. The first quarter I thought we were in trouble, but the House Wreckers came through and won 5-2.
Conferences were this week. When we got home from meeting with both of the boys’ teachers we told the boys they were in BIG trouble. Then we took them out for dinner… their conferences were fantastic! Christian is right where he should be and doing well socially and academically. His handwriting (when he’s trying) is astounding. He tends to rush through his work, but he’s very easy-going about re-doing it when asked. He’s easily redirected when he gets distracted, but she said that isn’t a frequent occurence (Yay!). The things he picked up last year in a 2/3 classroom are really helping him this year, I think.
Brandon is also doing very well in school. His time in preschool last year served him well. He knows most of the numbers and many of the letters/sounds he needs to know. He is compliant and a joy to have in class. His teacher said he’s quite the actor. She said she was really surprised to see the dramatic side of him. (We asked him later and he said he showed everyone how his army guys dance. Incidentally, I didn’t even realize he HAD army guys and had NEVER seen him play with before show and tell day). Too funny.
The boys are participating in the Seattle Kids’ Marathon this year. We have until 11/24 to walk 25 miles. We got 4 miles in so far this week and 4 more weeks left… wish us luck!
Hmmm… what can I say about Princess Alyson? Well, she wants EVERYTHING that Toys R Us is advertising on Nick Jr. Her potty training is going well. She wore underwear the last two days and had few accidents. Today she’s back in a pull-up (stubborn child). And she cut her hair, but I already said that. I guess that’s her update for now 🙂
