August flew by in a hurry and brought with it the start of school, the start of soccer and the end of Summer!
These nuggets are 2 weeks away from turning ONE! I have no clue where the last 11 months have gone but we survived and are excited (and slightly terrified) to have 2 little toddlers in our house!
Tinsley is still high maintenance but also so funny and silly. She just giggles to herself all the time. She LOVES food and is a great eater. She also surprised us all but actually liking school. We thought for sure she would scream all day but seems to have adjusted just fine!
Conner is still his smiley, laid back, happy self. He also LOVES to eat and is also still a good sleeper. He loves the pool and cars and balls! He is also doing ok at school but surprisingly needs more cuddles throughout the day than Tins. But I don't think the teachers mind too much!
In other news....we also officially have TWO WALKERS! Conner has been on the move for a couple months but Tinsley finally figured it all out and walks everywhere too!
Before school started for everyone, we were able to sneak off to the Splash Pad for one final day of fun. The kids had a blast and we spent half a day there with neighborhood friends just soaking up the sun!
August of course means the start of school for everyone.
Hudson is loving Second Grade. It has brought with it some pretty strict rules and lots of new homework but so far she doesn't seem to mind. She loves her teacher and had a few good friends in her class so all is well!
Sullivan got lucky and landed the same First Grade Teacher that Hudson had and she was so pumped! She LOVES her teacher and has made a few new friends as well. She is doing really well and is already improving on her reading and math so much!
August also meant the start of Pre-school for the 3 littles!
Tinsley and Conner are going 2 days a week at Judson Baptist and seem to be adjusting well.
Thomas is also at Judson but is able to attend Pre-K this year which means 4 days a week and No naps! He loves his nap time so he has been coming home and putting himself to sleep a few days a week! But he loves his teachers and playing with all of his buddies from last year!
August also means the start of 3 soccer seasons.
Thomas is back on the Green Team with our teammates from last season and so far they are off to a great start. Thomas is very into it this year and even dribbled the ball...down the field...during a game! That never happened last season, so I think he is getting the hold of it!
Sullivan is back on the Purple Dragons again and they are also off to a great start. We lost Hudson and another teammate to Travel soccer, but are still doing great. We are playing up 2 age groups and are enjoying the competition. Our first game was a hard fought 0-0 tie against 4th Graders but I love to see how our girls battled and actually played some nice soccer against bigger girls on a bigger field!
Hudson has been playing since Late July but played her first Travel soccer tournament a few weekends ago. Her team did great and really played well together. They battled hard and lost in the finals to the other half of their team. So It was a 1st and 2nd place finish for TSC and you can't get much better than that! So far she is loving TSC and seems to be learning a lot.
Finally...out of nowhere...Thomas decided to ride a big boy bike! He got it after really only a few tries. I am now a huge believer in balance bikes b/c he had no problem making the transition!
That is about all for now. September brings us more soccer, more school and a BIG FIRST Birthday!
