Joshua had his first day of first grade a few weeks ago. I always get sad on the first day of school, it is just another reminder of how quickly they are growing up. Although, he was anything but sad! He was so happy and excited! He settled in very quickly, and LOVED having his best friend and cousin Ezra in his class. I was worried if it would work out... so far the teacher says they do great together. He also lucked out by getting his little buddy Brighten from Vermont in his class, it is amazing to reconnect in such a small town after all our adventures. Already Joshua has progressed a ton with his reading. He is obviously happy and works well with his teacher. She is super sweet and loving, and he is thriving under all her positive teaching habits.
Abigail was very sad and had a hard time that first week of school. She loves Joshua and despite my efforts gets very bored and upset when he is not around.
Joshua also started playing soccer! Despite being really confused about what he is supposed to be doing, he loves it! During a game he runs around smiling and flinging his arms and other body parts around. Then the ball will land at his feet and you can see him think "oh the ball, let me think what do I do with this...oh yeah kick it, oh man that kid stole it away." Pretty much that is what happens he gets the ball and losses it by the time he figures out what to do with it. But he is having fun and learning how to play on a team and with a team. Learning how to play soccer is a bonus.
