Tyler started school this week and he absolutely loves it. I love seeing him so happy. He is excited about all his classes, especially art. He just looks so big to me now that he's out of elementary school.
Caely has been trying out for a basketball team over the last few days. They worked the girls really hard, Caely's come home sore every night. I'm really excited for her, I think she did really well and has a good chance. Even if she doesn't make the team, I'm glad she tried. That takes a lot of courage and confidence.
Alexa has been sick over the last 2 weeks. I took her to the Dr.'s on Monday and he said she almost has pneumonia. Almost?? What is that supposed to mean? We will be changing doctors soon. Alexa's taking a 3 day antibiotic and is back at school today. It was funny because without her siblings here to entertain her, she was really bored and motivated to go to school.
Patch is doing great. He is loving school and doing really well. He's only had a few melt downs, but even then he seems to pull himself together better and better. Last week while putting away laundry, we hit a milestone. He put all of his stuff away by himself. I think only Chris and I can understand how big this is for him and for us. Yesterday he took out two bathroom garages by himself and even though he got a little frustrated, he was very proud of himself. He even said, "mom, I did two hard things but I'm glad I don't have to do the downstairs garbage".
Although I have a couple kids coming now, piano officially starts back next week. I'm super excited, I'm having so much fun teaching. Dance also starts for the girls next week, so does basketball practice if Caely makes the team, and hockey follows soon after that for both the boys. We are going to be packed with all the extra things our kids do. I'm going to have to learn to be more prepared and juggle dinner with all the different schedules. I guess that's part of this stage of life.
Today is the first day I actually get to enjoy the few hours of freedom while Patch is in school. It's kind of nice, but I'm not quite sure what to do with my time. There's always something to do, it's just where to start and what to accomplish. I'm sure I'll get the hang of it and then the kids will be off track and I'll have to adjust again.

I'm so glad that Patch is doing well. And good for him to start learning that he can do hard things!
AS far as what to do with your time, lets get that room done!
Good luck to Caely! And I hope Alexa feels better soon. I don't think our pediatrician is taking new patients, or I'd totally recommend him to you. I hope you find someone you like!
okay... how did you find a team for Caely to try out in??
