Soccer and Neil

The last few days we have been in cruise control. With Chris still gone I am trying to just keep things simple. Our Saturday has been nice and relaxing. We went to see Grace play in her first soccer game of the season. Go Orange Fireballs! She's harnessing her inner superstar with the #23 jersey.

Thankfully there was no one keeping score at this game. Those Yellow Cheetahs were a lot better than us. At least Grace was able to get a goal. She was pretty excited. I forgot how hard it is to watch this age play. It gets so much better when they are a bit older. Oh well. It's all about fun and learning for now.

Other than some soccer, I spent the day working on printing some of Neil's baby pictures. The kids each have a small baby album of their first year. Sadly Neil's only went up to his second month. I decided I had better fix that. Now at least they all have the same amount of printed pictures. After that there are no guarantees.  

It's neat to see how much they love going through their albums. I like being able to tell them about what is going on in the pictures. I may need to start printing more often. We just never look at all our digital pics. I need to think of something because I don't want a million albums either. Ideas??

Neil has been going to 2 different preschools during the week. So far he has adapted very well to the different routines. It's more of a struggle for me to keep track of what day it is and where he is going. He's been working on writing his name and he will even draw the cutest stick figure of himself. He still loves the color green. I'm just glad that he is acclimating well to the general ed preschool class. I still can't picture him going to kindergarten next year, although I am super excited! Hopefully he will just continue to progress.
