First day of school

This year Collin enters Middle School. He is doing fantastic!! He loves changing classes and teachers. I think it's a great change for him considering his ADHD problems.
Jordon is in 1st grade and goes to school all day. It is fabulous!!! I love it!! The break between her and Sienna is much needed. She is enjoying 1st grade. She is such a perfectionist that learning to read and spell is little rough on the Mom, but I tried ever so hard to keep my cool.
Sienna is in her last year of Pre-School at Miss Susan's again. Miss Susan adores Sienna. She says Sienna is her 'perfect' student. This comes as a bit of surprise to me. At home Sienna is just the opposite, BUT I'm stoked she is good for other people.
Alexa is cruising around the house now. She crawls everywhere and pulls herself up all the time. Her favorite place is the bathroom. We have to remember to keep the doors shut so she doesn't play in the toilet. She LOVES her sisters and plays with Sienna wherever she is. I think Alexa gets bored when her sisters are gone at school.

Football

Collin is playing tackle football for the first time this year. I was so excited he finally showed interest in playing a sport. He is small for his age so I was a little worried about that. He was put on a team that has been together for the last 4 years. They've been great in welcoming Collin. He plays tight end on the offense. The first 2 weeks were really tough. He was sore, bruised and beat up from practices. He would ask to quit everyday. The mean Mom I am made him push through the practices until he had his first game. Then if he still hated it so bad then HE could tell his coach and team he wanted to quit. After the first game he decided it was fun. I'm so glad he has stuck with it and is enjoying himself now. He has made lots of new friends. I'm so proud of him! He is #20 on the maroon team.
