Williams name

William is jealous of tre's homework, so I create some for him. I told him to write his name knowing he'd need help! Instead, a couple minutes later and no questions asked he showed me his finished work! I was quite impressed with his ability since he's only 3!!!!

New blogger app!!

I Just discovered the new blogger app for my phone so be ready for more updates! William had his Halloween party today at school. It's fun to see how he interacts and behaves at school. Tre is so quiet at school and never in trouble and that doesn't surprise me. William is never on trouble either, but that kind of surprises me knowing his silly spirit! Today he was so well behaved and quiet it was almost weird. I'm glad he realizes that there is a time and place for silliness! He's such a sweet fellow!

Notes:

WOW- Tre is a very smart little boy. He is very eager to learn and is doing very well with the newly introduced skills.

Tre is a "PERFECT" (underlined twice) student. He is very attentive and always finishes his work quickly and quietly. He is also a great helper who is always willing to help his classmates if they are struggling.

Tre has really started to come out of his shell this year. He is making lots of new friends and always plays with different people. He is such a sweet, mature little boy who is always helpful to his classmates. I feel blessed to be Tre's teacher.

Awesome work Tre! Keep it up!

Tre is the cutest, sweetest thing. When Tre is happy about something, he always tries not to smile and puckers his lips in his effort. I got home from the conference and read him the notes and he was puckering so hard it looked like his smile was going to crack. In the end, he did bust into a smile and a giggle. He was so proud of himself... and he should be!

questions

Why does an apple have a stem? Why do grapes have a stem too? Why can't we press pause on the tv like we did in NOLA? Why don't we have Cartoon network on the playroom tv? How long did we live in NOLA? Why is there no Monkey room in Lafayette? Is someone going to build a Monkey Room in Lafayette? Why not? Can I cut his apple for breakfast tomorrow? What are calories? Who got this McQueen and Mater? Why aren't they from Disney World when they have this Disney sign?

Tre is FULL of questions. These are just a few of the ONE MILLION he's asked me in the last hour or so!!! It got to the point that I literally laughed every time he asked another!

William's FIRST Soccer Practice

Well, William started Soccer today. At home, he was VERY excited! He could hardly wait. Then we got there and he wanted nothing to do with it! Go figure!

After a little bribery with his Powerade, I got him going and he did GREAT! I think he really liked it, but I also think he will be happier when it isn't so hot!

Reno crash

I'm totally freaked! Jack was at the Reno Air Races this afternoon having fun until a plane crashed right into the VIP Box seats he was sitting in. He dove away from the grandstand and thankfully, is safe. He said he saw more than he ever wanted to see and was hit with some debris. He seems shaken but okay. After this and a jet crash in his squadron (pilot safely ejected and aircraft destroyed), I'm totally freaked! I always appreciate my favorite guy and wonderful kids, but these things hit too close to home for me!

On a side note, we said an extra prayer for our awesome daddy tonight and Tre said, "what about my awesome mommy!" He's the sweetest!

Tre's First Day of Kindergarten!

It started a little rough. He's been dreading going, but in the last few days, he's seemed more open to the idea. This morning, however, he definitely was not! First he refused to get out of bed and we I finally got that to happen, then he refused to get in his uniform.

I finally got him dressed and then we had a knock on the door. Grant and Mouse (my sister Marcy) came to see him off. The minute he saw Grant he perked up. I think it helped to see that Grant had the same uniform on and it certainly comforted him that he will be going to the same school.

He seemed nervous when we arrived, but was brave. My mom, Allison, and Becky came to greet him at school. He didn't say much but he did whisper to me, "This school is WAY bigger than Fishers!" I think he was overwhelmed with all the kids and busses.

When we got to his classroom he seemed to relax a bit. The first thing his teacher said was that they were going to talk about their mommies and daddies. She said that she found Tre's daddy has a really cool job and Tre yelled out that he flies F-18's. I think that was enough to win him over! HAHA! I almost cried right then because it's so sweet how much he idolizes Jack, but I didn't.

I'm so proud of our guy, but so sad that he's growing so fast!
