Wow! I can't believe how time flies! Frankie is now a 9th grader. Unofficially a freshman. For open house, Grant said a lot of girls were so excited to see him. Although I know he's too young to date...I can't help to smile. He is a cutie!
This year he has Honors Biology, Geometry, Geography, English, Spanish 3 (immersion), Encore (choir), Seminary, World Civilization and of course P.E. He's definetly got a full schedule.
On top of that he is doing tackle football and he's loving it! He's running back and tight end.
Drew started Kindergarden today! She was so excited, she has been counting the days. Last night she didn't put up a fight when I told her to get ready for bed eventhough the sun was still up. That's so hard for kids to understand. I wonder how Alaskan moms do it. She was in bed by 8:30pm on the dot! Then she slept all night and woke up at 8:00am on the dot all on her own. Next thing I know, she's getting ready with out me asking her to. PHEEEEEEEEW...what a relief. She was ready by 8:30am, ate breakfast and we headed to school. When we got there, she unbuckled herself and said "bye mom". I explained to her that today parents were allowed to hang out with their kids to have cookies with them.
While we had cookies, we ran into some preschool friends. They were all so excited.
Somehow, it slipped our minds to tell her that she would have recess. When we told her, she was even more excited. Her favorite part of school as of today...RECESS!
One thing we told her this morning was to make sure she try to meet new friends and if she saw anyone that didn't have anyone to play with to go play with them. As I talked to her I asked her who she played with and she said she played with a new friend today. I was so proud of her, because she could've easily stayed within her comfort zone and played with her friends from preschool.
I can tell that Drew is going to be more worried about fashion than Frankie. Frankie is ok wearing whatever and still looks cute. But Drew...she had to have High Tops and Twinkle Toes! She was definetly trendy today.
