Month of Firsts

OK...So I said It would be awhile, but FINALLY an update!!

We've had a month firsts! First days of school, first t-ball game of season, first football experience, first time back to work in awhile, first time at daycare, first words, first temper tantrums...All this = 1 tired Momma :)

BUT I must say it's all shaping up pretty nicely. The 1st week had me VERY frazzled and E told me, "it's not worth it, just stay home!" But he knew I would adjust (and I did) and I really wanted to work at least a little. The boys are of course doing great. It's just Miss Priss...still hates being dropped off at daycare...and we're on week 4!! I do really like my job and Lila is liking it more and more each day (after drop off!).

So here's the rundown of the rest of the firsts...

Cade
Started transitional kindergarten. We did decide to hold him back and he's doing great!! We feel confident that he's in exactly the right place. He loves his class and has already made several friends. He also started T-ball (for the season). We've played T-ball several times before:) Cade actually got placed on the team b/c Mom and Dad like the parents! He really didn't have a choice! He also like Jack, takes after Dad and is SUPER athletic and one of the best on the team...But, I am his Mom...what do you expect me to say??! Oh and he recently told me he wanted us to change his name to "handsome" and when I asked why, he said, "duh Mom, b/c I am handsome!" Ohhhh

Jack
Jack started first grade and is doing very well as usual! He's a great student, super listener and a people pleaser so he's always a star student! He also started football...for the first time...and OMG it's psycho!!!! All those things you hear about Texas football, it's TRUE!!!!! It's SUPER intense, SUPER competitive and SUPER aggressive...right up Jack's alley!! If you know Jack he weighs heavily in All 3 of these areas. Dad of course couldn't be more proud! We had our first game last weekend and it was really fun! I'll post some clips soon...

Lila
First temper tantrum...enough said! Even my neighbor said..."I've never seen her act like that!" Ha! Here we go again for the 3rd time! Terrible 2's!!!!!!!!!!!!! AHHHHHHHHHHHH!
But...she's also using a lot of first words and it is sooooooo cute!
