Will is a Buc! Finn and Sam remain Bears.

Will started Kindergarten this year!  We had not intended for him to be a Kindergartener this school year, but after moving to our new home - which is a stones throw from Beech Elementary School- we decided to enroll Will in school.   The plan is for Will to attend Kindergarten again at Davidson Academy next year.  This year he was supposed to be in K4 at DA.  But he also qualified (based on his age) to begin Kindergarten in the Sumner County public school system.  We decided to save our money and send him to "K4" at Beech.     

He was a little confused at first, but generally liked the idea of being a "Buc."  Will's teacher is Mrs. Garrett.  She is a wonderful Kindergarten teacher and comes highly recommended by our other teacher friends.  Will also was able to start his Kindergarten year with his cousin Cade, his neighbor Helen, and his best friend from K3 at Davidson Academy Jack.  Jack's mom teaches at DA so I was really surprised when Will announced from the backseat of the van "that Jack is Buc now."  I was so happy for Will.

He adjusted really quickly to his new school.  But I'm not surprised.  As our third child, poor Will has been pulled here and there and had to adjust to our life.  He is easily our more well-adjusted kid.  I have had to talk him out of wearing his Bear Wear to Beech.   



First Day of Kindergarten (Take 1) Pictures.  





His backpack this year his a "Minecraft" backpack. He loves this backpack!  Will is very concerned about looking cool.  The biggest fights we have are over his clothes.  He only likes to wear "cool" t-shirts and sports shorts.  We have a deal - he can pick out whatever he wants to wear on Tuesdays, Fridays and Saturdays.  I pick the other days.  















So these pictures are of Finn and Sam's first day of Sixth and Fourth Grade.  I can't tell you who Finn's homeroom teacher is, but Sam's teacher is Ms. Lamb. 











So Will started his first day on a Tuesday.  Finn and Sam's first day was on Thursday.  Will didn't go back for his second day until Friday.  Between COVID protocol, acclimating Kindergarteners, and Sam being quarantined for ten (10) days after his first day of school, we didn't have all three (3) boys in school at the say time until the fourth week of school.  It was a great start.

Today we woke up at 6:30 to prepare for our big day at Universal Studios Islands of Adventure. The shuttle from the hotel left for the park at 8:00 meaning that we had to be downstairs and ready to go at 7:45. At 7:30 we realized that we had to book our spot on the shuttle the night before. Oops. For two people with jobs requiring close attention to detail we completely fall apart in our personal life. Fortunately we were able to purchase a ticket and catch the 8:00 shuttle anyway. The shuttle ride was interesting; we ended up sitting behind a young couple that could have left about 90% of their PDA in their hotel room and it still would have been too much for my taste. When we got to the park we noticed our ticket required that we show I.D. Well, I didn't bring my purse with me. Oops. After reading and rereading the fine print, we lawyerly types figured out an interpretation that would allow me to get into the park without producing photo i.d. We geared up for the fight

Wednesday night I got a strange phone call from Michael; he asked if I could get an ice pack and a couple ibuprofen ready for him.  Check it out . . .   He went to the doctor Thursday morning and came home with a boot, a pressure sock and a pair of crutches.  Looks like he will be out of commission for approximately two months.

On Sunday morning we slept until 9:30!  Finn was up with the sun, of course, but Sam slept until a little after 9:00. When we got up the sun was shining so we decided to hang the boys gourd bird house from Mr. Gene.  So far we have really enjoyed going to church on Sunday night.  Finn specifically told me that he likes night church better because he can get up and play.  The boys had a pajama party at school today.  It was in honor of Ms. Jenn's last day before maternity leave.  Finn was very excited to show his friends his godzilla feet. Big morning for Finn.  Last night was the first night that we have not put a nighttime pull-up on Finn.  He woke up with a dry bed!
