Summer of Swimming
We have spent a couple of hours a day at the pool and William and Tre have really gotten comfortable in the water. It is so much fun to see them learn.

Stranger Danger
Tre is LOVING his karate classes and I am thrilled. The owner surprised me on our second day and told me that he prayed for our little family and God was urging him to do something for us while Jack was gone. He decided to pay for his tuition until Jack returned. Isn't that the nicest thing?
In this video they are practicing stranger danger and the appropriate way to get away. They are yelling, "FIRE!"

Tre is a smart kid... and funny too. Here are some recent convos!
Nan (my twin sister Becky) gave Tre and William each two pieces of candy to have after dinner. My new rule is that they have to eat ALL of their dinner without complaining about it in order to get dessert. On the way home from Nan's Tre said, "Mom, if William doesn't eat his dinner can I have all 4 candies?" I was so impressed that he realized 2+2=4! I know it's simple math, but still!
Yesterday it was thundering and lightening really loud. It woke Tre up in the morning and he started yelling for me. I walked in his room and he said, "Mom! Why is the old man being so loud!?" I didn't get it at first but then I thought about the song, "It's raining. It's pouring. The old man is snoring..." HAHAHA!
Today Tre was trying to find someone to help him play his Mario Wii game. He finally suckered his Parrain (Becky's hubby) to play with him and, unfortunately, Parrain died immediately. John later told me that supportive, little Tre said, "nevermind, Parrain, you're not good. Can you go get my mommy to play with me!" I walked in and Tre said the same thing I told him that I wouldn't play until he apologized to him for saying that! Tre apologized and thanked him for playing with him in front of me, but when I walked out John later told me that Tre said (in the nicest possible way), "Parrain, those bombs kill you, you know? Next time you need to try harder, okay?!" John thought that was the funniest thing!

Tre's first day of school in Lafayette
Today was Tre's first day at his new school. We showed it to him on Friday before Jack left and didn't seem overly thrilled, so I was very anxious about dropping him off. Of course, he slept in this morning and I had to force him up (sure would be nice if he'd do that on the weekends). He walked right in and showed his teacher his new book sack and then noticed some kids playing with train stuff. He gave William and me a hug and was off to play. No tears! I couldn't believe it!
I went to the gym and was sure William would have a fit for having to go to the daycare there by himself and sure enough he was excited too! I can't believe my luck today.
I went to pick him up and all the kids were eating lunch. I didn't know they were going to feed Tre lunch! I found him and he had his VERY angry face on! I should have warned him, but I didn't know. He hates most food, so I would have known he needed a pep talk about eating there.
His teacher didn't know he was a half day kid and it turns out he was also angry about nap. She had him set up his cot and he thought he was going to have to nap after lunch. He hasn't napped in 2 years, so you know he wasn't happy.
Overall, she said he had a good day, but he did start asking for me when the cots came out. I'm not surprised by that!!!
I hope tomorrow goes just as well... and I hope he eats the food too!
