A Week of Firsts

1) Bentley's first day of school (see post below). During our walk home from school on Friday Bentley said he had liked school, that he could read 2 whole books and that "Kindergarten class is really long." He almost fell asleep during dinner Friday night...learning is hard work!

2) Caroline's first day of dance. She is in a Virginia Tanner class with her cousin Maddie and they were about the cutest things I have ever seen while dancing on Thursday. My daughter is an energetic mover for sure. I love it. And she had the biggest grin on her face whenever she had the chance to gallop and skip and really move around the studio.





3) Bentley's first soccer game. It was kind of a bust to tell you the truth. He was in a bad mood, hated the heat, and got very frustrated that so many kids were all trying to kick the same ball. There were many tears and not many minutes of actually playing on the field. We will hope for better when the next game rolls around.


4) Olivia's first solids. OK--she actually had her first rice cereal a few weeks back but it just fits in so nicely with this post :) She is still figuring the whole eating and swallowing thing out and making a total mess of herself in the process.

First for all your kiddos! I love the tiny dancers. I think all kids' first year of soccer is much the same...

Great dance pictures! I can't wait for grandparents' day to see them both dance. Cute Bean, tired after "long" days in kindergarten! Yay for Olivia and solid food--funny how they just don't know what it's all about at first.

Hooray! I love the dancing cares and Maddie and think that Bentley might be related to Joe:) Congrats to Olivia on starting solids.
