Week 1 - Done

Well we have completed our first week of school and soccer.  Notice how I said we instead of Hayden?  It has been an adjustment for Gracie and I too!  Hayden is still not a big fan of getting up early, but she does get on up after the second time I call her.  Once she is up, she eats her breakfast and is ready to GO!  Gracie has been excellent...as far as getting up and rolling with the flow!  The only thing Gracie is not a fan of, is carpool.  She cries and pitches a fit every afternoon.  The morning carpool is very fast so we don't have any problems, but sometimes in the afternoons we sit and wait for about 15 minutes, which isn't really that long but I guess to a two year old it seems like forever!  The worst part is that she is crying "Hayden Come On" which is really cute and really aggravating after 15 minutes.  She is just ready to see her big sister!  Hayden doesn't like to talk about her day when I pick her up.  Usually all I get out of her is that she had a great day and she loves school and she always wants to know if she gets to go back tomorrow!  She wasn't happy today when I told her that she doesn't have to go back for two days now, she said well "that's not fun" and "I won't get to see Mimi".  I think Mimi has been sneaking around the school pretty much all week to get a peek as to how Hayden was doing.  Mimi said that every time she saw her she was smiling, which makes me happy to know!  She loves her teachers Mrs. Sherre and Mrs. Kim, and she is making lots of new friends.  She brought home her folder today, it only comes home on Fridays with all of her work for the week.  She had lots of great paintings and worksheets, she got a 100 on two of them and the rest had smiling faces and stickers!  I know no one is surprised, we all know how intelligent she is, I just have to brag on my amazing little girl, after all that is my job!  I am so glad she had such a good week, I think she is going to have an amazing year this year. Next Tuesday evening at 6:30 is the Ice Cream Social so Daddy, Pop, Aunt Kim, Uncle Artie, Nana and Uncle Randy we expect to see you there...No I didn't forget Mimi, I know she will be there. 

We also started Soccer this week and so far she loves it!  Monday night it was raining so it was cooler but last night it was HOT, HOT, HOT!  Her coaches are trying to teach them all the rules, it is so funny watching them because all they want to do is run around and kick the ball, which is kind of the point.Right?  Anyways I am glad she likes her coaches and she does pay very close attention when they are talking and showing her what to do.  She is a really good kicker, once again I have to brag, like I said it's my job!  The only thing Mark and I told her after we left practice last night was...That she didn't need to be scared to try to take the ball and kick it when they are playing against each other.  It is 3 against 3, which is good because it was complete chaos last night, they were running all over the field, out of bounds and everything.  It is nice to see her excited about it though, she always wants to know when we leave when she will be coming back for practice again!  Her first game is September 11th, not sure exactly what time yet, her coach said it is usually around 9am and they will be doing team pictures that day too...It should be lots of FUN!
