Whole New Ballgame | |
|
||
|
||
|
What a difference a week makes. Both Skyler & I were so much better at this weeks soccer game. I think it was a combination of us finally being the routine of going to bed early and spending all day at school plus the fact that Grandma O and Aunt Candy came to watch us play. I kept waving at them and they were waving back. And I could hear them cheering me on as I was running down the field. I was a wildman today. I was kicking the ball all over the place. I even got to throw the ball in from the side. It was awesome. I had so much fun. And there was no crying this time. |

Who Knew There Was So Much Crying In Soccer | |
|
||
|
||
|
Skyler and I had our very first soccer game today. It didn't go too well. Both of us were starters in the game. And at first it was good. But then our coach made us sit on the sidelines. He wanted us to take turns with the other players and we only have four players on the field at a time. Neither Skyler nor I liked being on the sidelines. We wanted to be on the field playing. So we both started crying. I think we were both really tired from a full day of school. And we are still trying to get used to our new bedtime schedule. But after a while the coach put me back in. And I was running after the ball like a madman. I really like soccer. It's a lot of fun. I was frustrated when the coach put me back on the sidelines. But he put me back in the game again too. I just need to learn to take turns. I'll get the hang of this. Eventually. |

First Day of Kindergarten | |
|
||
|
||
|
I've been waiting for this day for a very long time. It's the first day of school. And I had a fantastic day. My teacher took a few pictures of me. These first two are in the cafeteria before school. We waited there until it was time to go to our kindergarten room and start learning.  After waiting and talking and coloring for a while, our teacher took us to our new kindergarten room. I knew right where my room was because I remembered from Open House on Monday. And all of my school supplies were still there waiting for me.    I had so much fun meeting my new friends and learning. We talked about our gingerbread men that we made at Open House. He went missing, but he left clues for us all over the school. So we explored the school looking for him. We also went to the library and I checked out my very first school book. I'm going to have mom read it to me and Skyler tonight before we go to bed. I had so much fun today. I told mom that my class is the best kindergarten class. Skyler disagreed, but I know it's true. I can't wait to go back tomorrow. |

My Busy, Busy Day | |
|
||
|
||
|
Today was really exciting. First, I got to go back to school. And this time we went inside. I got to meet my teacher again. She is so nice. And I got to see where I will be sitting when we start school on Thursday. I'm at the head of the table. How exciting. While mom put all of my school supplies away, I colored a gingerbread man. My teacher said that we are going to do something with that gingerbread man on the first day of school. I colored him and clued on some buttons and foam pieces. It was a lot of fun. Besides my gingerbread man I had some homework. I'm so happy about my homework. I've been wanting homework for weeks. My homework is a crown which I need to color and a brown paper lunch sack. Apparently I get to put five things from home in to the sack. And then when I come back to school I will be king for a day. On that day I will get to wear my crown and show off my five items. I can't wait. One of the little girls that sits next to me was there too. Her name is Alicia. She said hi to me. I was a little shy and I didn't say anything back. But mom pressured me in to a "hi" eventually. Then Alicia said "my name is Alicia." Apparently she thought I didn't hear here cause she said it again. I still didn't say anything though. I don't even know that girl. I just looked down at the table. Then she said it a first time. I finally said "I heard you" kind of snotty. Mom told me I need to be nicer to people and I should have told her my name. Apparently mom doesn't understand what it means to be shy. Just when I was starting to get in the groove of my classroom, mom told me it was time to go. I was really upset because I didn't get to play. Mom told me I got to come back on Thursday, but that wasn't good enough. I wanted to play now. My teacher saw me crying and came over to see what was wrong. She knew right away that I didn't want to leave. She gave me a big hug and told me we would have lots of fun things to do when I come back on Thursday. So I decided that would be fun and I decided to go with mom. We had to leave school so early because we had our very first soccer practice ever. There are five girls (including Skyler) and four boys (including me) on our soccer team. We had practice for a half an hour. It was really fun. We took turns kicking the ball and I even got the ball in the goal. I'm so good. :) After all that excitment, I was exhausted when I got home. Good thing I still have three days to get rested before my first day of school. |

Kindergarten Playdate | |
|
||
|
||
|
Today I got to meet some of my new kindergarten friends. The PTO at my school hosted a playdate at the big playground behind our school. It was awesome. I got to meet my teacher and she took this picture of me. I also met a whole bunch of boys. They are my new friends. I can't wait to come back to school on Thursday. |
