Wyatt started Kindergarten at Pleasant Valley and his first teacher is named Mrs. Jones. He loves school. I was worried the first week because I knew he spent most recesses alone observing the other kids. Well, now all he talks about is how funny Shawn is and Colton was his first friend and Landon likes to play ball with them and sometimes he sits with Emiko. Lots of friends! I wonder if they will be lifelong friends.....
Anyway, Wyatt is also doing great at swim lessons. He can swim to the middle of the pool and hold his breathe. He is swimming on his back and also learning diving. I'm surprised how quickly he is picking this up. He loves swim. Maybe he will be on the swim team one day? We'll see.
Gatlon started Pre-K with Mrs. Dana this year. I've tried to teach him ABC's and worked on spelling his name but he always acts uninterested. I talked to his pediatrician about it and she said some kids don't want to learn some things from mom. He already absorbs so much from me that I was ok accepting this and putting him in a pre-k to see if he would benefit. HE LOVES IT!! I'm so happy for him. Gatlon is constantly drawing G for his name and knows 2 site words no questions asked. He has only been there for like 4 classes. I'm so excited. I guess some kids want to learn school stuff elsewhere. The important thing is he loves cooking with me and building legos and painting and will not let a night go by without a bedtime story. So I get my quality time and know he is learning from me I just let Mrs. Dana handle the alphabet!
Gatlon is great in swim class but doesn't get as excited as Wyatt. Might not be his thing but he will continue to go so we can be sure he knows how to swim. Its too important period. I will say its pretty cute watching him do scoopers under the water :)
Briggs is being a trooper with his big brothers crazy all over the place schedules and sometimes has to sacrifice a nap in the car. He is working hard on walking -probably taking 10 steps before he sikes himself out and sits. I can't believe he is about to turn 1 in a few weeks! Thats another blog post though....
So our lives are full of activities and schooling finally! The boys were so bored over the summer. Now for the first time in 5 years I have random blocks of time with only 1 kid. So I get costco over with and watch the clock till its time to pick up my babies. xoxo -Kristy
