It Just May Be a Very Long School Year...

Well, we're two weeks into school and JD is alreay looking forward to days off and the weekends. That said, I'm hoping it's just that he's still adjusting to the new schedule and length of his day. If not, it will be a very long school year. He keeps coming home with "great job" stickers on his papers, great drawings, stories about what happens in class and "smarty dots" on his hand. You'd think there'd be something about it he likes! Oh yeah, and now he says he has 6 girlfriends. What's not to love about kindergarten?! LOL

Soccer hasn't gone very well on the other hand. After 2 very promising practices where he actually participated, he did not play in the first game on Saturday. He puts these huge expectations on himself to win and be the best even though we keep telling him all we want is for him to give it a try and have fun...we don't care if your team wins or loses; if you make 100 goal or no goals...just give it a shot and you might have fun! Guess we'll have to decide whether to keep trying or let him just quit this season and try again if he wants to next year. Kind of diappointed, but it is what it is.
