Back to School

Been a while since I posted last. Lots of things have started. School being the biggest. We have enrolled Haidyn in private catholic school. Was concerned at first that H was going to be behind so contemplated putting him back in first grade. Actually didn't have time to take care of that so off H went into second, with fingers crossed & prayers said, we are in second week of second grade & so far H is way ahead! I'm thrilled & hopefully we can keep the good work up.

H was watching a Fred Astair, Genger Rogers movie & said he wanted to dance like Fred. So we have enrolled him on Monday afternoons in tap class. It is an entry level class with half ballet, half tap, which when the mention of ballet came up H was definitely opposed. Once it was explained to him that all dance begins with ballet he was more hip with it. Kinda wish the representative of the dance school could have kept ballet out of the conversation, at first so that H could gave tried dance then we could have told him he was also doing ballet, but alls well that ends well.

With the first week of school, came the beginning of football. RCS started with football camp. We went Tues., Wed., & Thursday. H enjoyed the camp & it was fun watching him participate. There were some moves he learned in dance class used out on the practice field! Think football will be the thing that will motivate H to do well in school & get his work done.

We try to read on way to school. Not really working well. He doesn't like reading & fights it. Because of that his reading is suffering. Of course I am unsure if he is just being stubborn or if he really can't read well. My only avenue is to have him read all the time, whenever we get a second & just read, read, read. Won't hurt him.

Cute & frustrating boy. We are in for an adventure! (hope I'm up for it)
