John’s Fall Baseball pictures have arrived! This is the individual one.
The is the team collage.
I think they turned out well!
Back to School Night!
It was Back to School Night for Units B and C at Ridgeway Elementary tonight. We visited John’s classroom and teachers first. He is doing fairly well, but he needs to dial back that personality a bit. He really likes to talk! Hanging on the window in his classroom was his “Me Shirt.” It’s too cute!
Next, we visited Laura’s classroom and teachers. She is doing well as always aside from the fact that she needs to work on her spelling. Laura’s class made bobblehead drawings. Love it!
It was hard to believe that this year we actually had two kids at Back to School Night because Unit A does a separate event. These kids are growing up.
Home Run(s)!
What a game for the little man tonight! At bat #1 = his first home run ever that just happened to be a grand slam. At bat #2 = his second home run ever.
The funny thing is that at every game, I watch Andy lean on the fence to watch the boys play ball. My whole point in taking a picture was to capture Andy watching John bat. I had no idea that it was about to be a picture of the swing of John’s first home run ever and a grand slam at that!
I was cheering and almost forgot the crossing the plate picture, but I got it at the last second (even though you can’t see the *huge* smile on John’s face).
He was so excited, but he had more baseball to play. John capped his night with a three-run homer. Nearly identical pitch and nearly identical hit. Tonight was just his night. Of course, we had to celebrate a bit, so we went with the Creeches to Sonic. Aunt Kristena did say that home runs earn ice cream!
Way to go John Buddy! You earned that Hot Fudge Shake!
Sunday School
It is the first day of Sunday School and the kids are ready to go!
Plaids
This is one of Laura’s new “Plaids,” otherwise known as a flannel shirt. We cleaned out her closet about a month ago and had to pack up her three flannel shirts because she had outgrown them. It was then that I realized that she called them plaids. She told me that I had to get her more plaids to replace the ones that we were giving to Alia. It took me a minute to realize what she was referring to. So, I replaced her plaids today. She was very excited to have two new plaids (even though Andy had to correct her and now they are back to being plain, old, boring flannel shirts)!
And, He’s Out!
Cub Scout Pack Meeting
It was the first Cub Scout Pack Meeting of the year where John earned more belt loops. Great job John!
