Around the Bend??? Maybe!

Well we may have made it around the bend on this getting-used-to-school situation. I finally made contact with my son's teacher after realizing that my work email was not allowing me to send or receive messages from her. Just knowing that I can now communicate with her has done wonders to ease my mind. We still had a few tears this week. Not nearly as bad as the previous week, though. We got a good note home from his teacher saying he did well on Thursday. He still hates the after-school program, but baby steps... He will get there. We also took care of a sticky situation on the soccer field in a way that hopefully made everyone comfortable. Things are looking up!
Travis is on the Green Dragons. As long as you tell him which way to kick the ball, he does okay. He actually scored a goal during practice this week. He told everyone, adding "and I was even going in the right direction!!"
The best part of going to soccer with my son is seeing how much he has improved since the last season. He is doing a lot better. This season he was able to get jersey #1, just like Thomas the Tank Engine! BONUS!

Meanwhile Chelsea is doing great. She continues to go to Aunties and loves playing with her little friend there. I painted her toenails for the first time. Thursday she turns 2! We have decided to celebrate by going to see "Sesame Street Live" that night with friends.
Here she is with Mimi, posing with their sunglasses on. Mimi is going to see Sweet Caroline this weekend and will hopefully bring back lots of pics!
Chelsea enjoys the chocolate off a cookie and then tries to hide her chocolaty face. We find the cookies with the chocolate licked off scattered throughout our home. Gross!
Chelsea has found a way to occupy herself during her brother's soccer game. She finds some friends to run up and down the hill with. At the end of the game she crawls into her carseat and falls asleep, exhausted from running. Everybody wins!
