Kindergarten and 3rd Grade, Oh My!

Lexi and Chris started school almost 2 weeks ago.  I have to admit, I was dreading it!  I wasn't worried about Lexi; she is an old pro.  Chris is another story.  We started talking to him more about Kindergarten 4 weeks before school started, trying to get a hold on what he was feeling.  He was scared and nervous and didn't want to talk about it.  I brought it up every couple of days, telling him it was ok to be scared and nervous.  I told him how I felt when I started school, which was pretty much the same.  That seemed to help a little.  Joe wanted him to try on his uniform one morning and Chris didn't want any part of it.  With much bribing, he finally tried it on.  Once we accomplished that, it helped a little bit more.  School shopping and getting a new Avengers lunch bag helped a little bit more.  Baby steps!  The Friday before school started, we went to the school to meet the teachers.  Chris was able to talk to his teacher, Ms. Trujillo, and I was relieved!  He can be so shy sometimes and it is so frustrating for us.  Now I know how my parents felt with me!  Chris said he was ready to go to school since he got to see his classroom and meet he teacher.  Yay!  Lexi just goes with the flow.  She liked her teacher and we didn't have any problems with her.



Chris came home from his first day of school and said "My teacher is awesome and my school is awesome!" 

 

It was easier than I thought :)



Lexi's Track Day

Lexi had her track day on Tuesday. It was not a very nice morning! It was cold and overcast. Here are some funny pictures. Lexi is definitely athletically challenged! Joe said "Yeah, you should sign her up for art classes."

This picture just makes me laugh!

Lexi and her BFF Sam.

Lexi got 5th place in the Basketball Dribble! Yay!

Chris was kinda bored and cold, so he was playing with the swings. He ws so happy he had all of them swinging!

Why is the ball behind Lexi when she threw it forward? See Joe and Chris in the background on the left? So cute!

Lexi can do the hula hoop pretty good.

Look at that face!

We are hoping for better weather next year!

Lexi is going to Kindergarten!

Just a quick post to let everyone know I registered Lexi for Kindergarten today! I am sad as well as excited for her! It is going to be different, but I know she will do great. I am going to miss my baby girl!
