Reese played on Cowboys and loved it! He played the whole game- Offense and Defense. He made one TD in a "preseason" game! For a lil one on the team, he was tough and strong! He was one of 4 on his team to make All-Stars and his All-Star team won! He had some great blocks in the game. And I am one of those moms that yells and walks the field. Then, I say to myself "he can't hear me" but I just keep yelling!
He is doing great in school and even his Spotlight/gifted teacher says how much he is a stand-out in her room. She says he's a leader and organizes the kids to come up with solutions! And she brags on his writings! She said she even copied one on a transparency to teach other Spotlight classes...I'm so proud!!! He still challenges me all the time with his thinking skills. I often have to get him to explain to me what he means and usually it is something so interesting. One funny story- As R-E was watching Dora, the cartoon asked "which black hole should dora go down." He died out laughing and we looked at him. He said, "that the craziest question the answer is none of them!" He ponders the weirdest things- "Why is there no random people walking around on Mickey Mouse Clubhouse. I mean there's always random people in real life but not cartoons" and "I wonder why there are no sharks on Spongebob". He loves to read and his new series he likes in 39 Clues. (We got him the whole set for Christmas). He's had a healthy year, except for a mild case of the flu. He is geared up and ready to play spring soccer! His other big accomplishment was receiving his First Communion in October! It was a special day filled with special guests: Anna, SL, Me, Brian, R-E, Hammie and Poppa! He received The Body and The Blood and you could see in his face how proud he was. Such a sweet boy...Brian and I have both walked in on him on different days in his room bf bedtime kneeling and saying his prayers! Brings tears to my eyes as I type!
Raygan-Elise is just growing up-- talking so much, uses potty occasionally,and of course being bossy! She says almost anything now and I can usually understand her (although others can't). She still loves singing "you are my sunshine" bf bed and loves part of "don't take my sunshine away". After she will say "i ant ake" = I want take...meaning sing that part again. She says i uv ew= I love you! She likes putting her hands on her hips to make a statement and she can give you some of the craziest faces to show her attitude and dislike. She still loves Mickey Mouse but has also started other shows since her daycare watches TV from 3:45-4:15 each day and somedays I don't make it there till 4. She enjoys Diego, Dora, Wonderpets, etc. She danced in her first recital/play in December. She was a flower in the Nutcracker: World Tour. She had many guests: SL, Mom, Me, Brian and Mamaw all there to watch her as she sat on stage for 3 minutes playing with her feet. She never stood up or attempted to do a thing. We are hoping her Spring performance will be more animated. She loves dance though! There are only 4 in her class and they really dance each Saturday! I also realized last week that she knows the letter R and M and the sound S makes. I wrote several other letters which she didn't recognize. Conclusion: knows R and M bc of all her monogrammed clothes!!! I always say lets get on this M shirt. :) Now, I'm not sure about the S... She can also sing the Alphabet song and the chorus to almost any song in top 10 hit radio. She loves music! She's of course been hit hard with diff. illnesses this fall. She had hand, foot, and mouth around the 2nd week of school, had ear infections in Aug, Sept, Oct, Nov, and Dec, and was put on oral antibiotic for one of those infections with caused antibiotic induced colitis. On a big positive note, she just had her first hearing test come back normal...so YAY! (past tests were bad due to fluid.) Crazy Girl! Still off dairy and taking 2 allergy meds daily and asthma inhaler 2 times a day. We are working on getting her off her paci--AKA her soothie! It is extremely hard. Over Christmas break, we tried the only in the bed idea. It worked pretty good. But now we are onto the only in the bed and the carseat deal! We will keep working! The tears and screams flow so bad....It is like her best friend is gone when she realizes she doesn't have it.
Halloween: She was Minnie Mouse, and he was a football player. We went to our annual Zoo Boo trip- watched the magic show, road some zoo rides, trick or treated around the zoo, and Reese hung out with the scarecrows (they were real people!). R-E school also had a fall carnival/party during her school day- games, bounce house, snack, and hayride. I went up there to walk with her class! Reese drew a design on a pumpkin this year, then I cut it out. I was a bat pumpkin, and he did a great job!
Guess that's all for tonight! Will post Christmas soon! I'm gonna get back on track! I love to blog...one as an easy way to keep you up to date but also for my memories bc they are all going by too quick and I've realized you forget so much. I hope to print these out as a keepsake for Reese and R-E to have! Our Computer isn't acting nice and we haven't been able to upload pics. So most current our still on camera...but here are a few past ones:
