Cole, your reading is getting better by the day. Dad and I are very impressed by how well you are doing!
You are doing great in 1st grade, and while your teacher just loves you, she has pointed out your orneriness. Nothing we didn't already know there!!
Before bedtime, each of you get to watch about 20-30 minutes of television. Cole, your favorite TV show right now is Wild Kratts-it is a great show that highlights different obscure and not-so obscure animals and gives many interesting facts about them throughout the show.
Jax, this morning you woke up and went downstairs and did your homework without being prompted. I love seeing glimpses of you becoming more responsible. You are getting fantastic grades so far this year, and your math skills are stellar. Jax, you love watching a series on how things are made. Right now you are really enjoying How it's made: Dream Cars.
Actually, both of you seem to have an affinity for math. Which I love, but you get it from Dad!
Both boys are playing baseball this fall and really enjoying it. When we are not at some kind of practice (Cole is also playing soccer and Jax is also playing flag football) or game, you can find us outside playing blitz ball (glorified whiffle ball) or riding bikes or some other activity. We do not spend much time being idle.
We had royals season tickets this year, and had such a fun time going to games with you boys or with friends. The boys love playing in the outfield and we all love cheering on the Kansas City Royals.
I came across this today:
I have heard people say love is weak but they're wrong – love is strong. In nearly everyone it trumps all other things – patriotism and ambition, religion and upbringing. And of every kind of love – the epic and the small, the noble and the base – the one that a parent has for their child is the greatest of them all. -Terry Hayes
