1st soccer game...

miles had his first soccer game on saturday. he was so excited. i was a little nervous, because other than mommy and me soccer, he has no experience. at practices they have been going over some of the rules, but he can't learn all the rules in in 4 practices. so the game was interesting. at one point when a team member was throwing the ball in, miles caught it. coach was very understanding and said it is so natural for the kids to to that. they are trying to protect their face. then at another point the other team tried to score, and our goalie stopped it. he picked up the ball and threw it in... miles caught it. he thought the goalie was throwing it to him. he didn't get that the ball was still in play. other than those two little mistakes, he did really well. i know it will get better as the season goes on. they ended up losing the game 4-3. not too bad!

preschool update!

maisy started preschool last monday. needless to say it was a rocky start. she didn't want david and i to leave. she wouldn't even let me take pictures of her (come-on). when i picked her up i was told she was held for most of the time, she cried and didn't really participate. on a good note she didn't have any potty accidents. on wednesday she brought her "mousie and bunny" she did better in that she didn't have to be held all day. she ate lunch, but still didn't really participate. on a bad note, she pooped and peed. GREAT! friday came around and and i was dreading taking her. it was her best day yet. she didn't cry except for a little after i left, she ate lunch, she participated... finishing 4 activies and no potty problems YIPPEEE!! hopefully this role will continue and we will have another successful week... fingers crossed.

these pics were actually taken on maisy's 2nd day of school...

















































































this where maisy stands to say goodbye to me in the morning.

before and after

miles finally got his hair cut. we wanted to have it cut before his first day of school, but we also wanted auntie jody to do it, so we had to wait until this weekend. i can't believe the difference. i knew his hair was long, but i didn't realize how long until jody started cutting. i am still getting used to it, but i think he looks really cute and grown up. thanks auntie jody. you are the best! here are the before and after pics.

sorry for the delay in the first day of school post. i was having some issues with my computer. miles is officially a 1st grader and very excited about it. he has been very tired after school everyday, he's not used to being in school a whole day. i can't wait to see and experience all the progress he'll make this year.
maisy starts preschool tomorrow. i am having a hard time with it. as my friend joanna put it, this will be my last first day of preschool. i'm sure i'll have a few tears.
