Wow! What a month. We packed more in September than in the past year, or so it seems. It was an exciting week. Rain had his first fieldtrip. He prefers the car to the school bus because he says, "Cars get there much faster." He also had his first soccer game where he scored the first goal! Yeah Schiller Storm. Yeah Coach D. There are two coaches, both named David and the kids laughed when Dave called himself Coach P(ee). I think I said we started piano last week. If I didn't, sorry. This week we are working on
Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star. Things would be progressing much more smoothly if I could remember to practice sometime before 9:00 p.m. I also need to take some pics playing the piano, sorry again. Finn is really into firefighters' poles lately. He insisted there was not one at school, but has finally relented that there is, indeed, one. He taught two kids at the the playground how to do it and enjoyed being their inspiration. Although he continues to test my limits, I have observed beautful things about him this week. He is wonderful in school and is going through a burst of creativity (6-7 drawings a day). As I said before, he is a role model and does a great job resolving conflict when I am not around to interfere. He has been kind and generous to Rain and was self-sufficient and easygoing at Rain's soccer game and practice. Although he whines and cajoles, he is growing and maturing; he is more of his lovely self everyday. I worked a bit this week and start on Monday on a regular basis. Bad news: it will not be a GA position that pays my grad school tuition. Good news: I do not need to try to work part-time, take a full course load and be some shell of a decent parent next year. Here are a few photos from our week.
