Jax started 1st grade at the end of August, and he likes it more than he wants to admit. He is a little worrier and he thinks he has to be nervous before school EVERY morning, but, when I pick him up after school, he always says that he had a fun day. He had a hard time adjusting to being there all day, and his favorite subjects are recess and lunch :) He loves his teacher and he is making a lot of new friends. Hopefully we can get to the point where he isn't nervous and upset every morning. He very rarely complains when it's time to do homework, which is a huge improvement from last year, but then again, he is a big 1st grader now!
A few days before school started, Jax earned his yellow belt in karate! He worked very hard and practiced all of his techniques. He was so proud of himself for getting the yellow belt, and we were very proud of him for working so hard to get it! I absolutely love the karate school and his teacher is so great with all of them, and Jax loves it. They focus on respect and discipline as well as the techniques.
Little miss Ella is still her sassy, princess self! She isn't quite sure how she feels about big brother being at school all day, and her just being home with Mommy. She gets pretty bored while he is gone. She loves it when Gabe is here so she has someone to play with! Hopefully I can find a preschool for her that I actually like, and maybe she will be able to start in January, since she is offically "potty twained like a big gull" (translation: potty trained like a big girl!) although im really not excited to have both of my babies in school, even if Ella will only be there for a few hours! She loves to do "homework" when her big brother does it. She mostly just draws pictures, but sometimes I have her do things out of a preschool work book, and she loves it. She is getting really good at saying her ABC's and counting to 10, even if she does like to skip numbers 5 and 6.
