Potter and Molly's adventures

Potter had an excellent day of second grade, especially since he had art on the first day of school. He has many friends from his class last year in his second grade class, as well as new friends from other classes. They have individual desks (instead of community tables) that open up for storage. He thinks that is very cool. (Like Junie B. Jones has in all the books) We are going to walk to school as much as possible, weather permitting, to keep good habits up for exercise. It has been nice and cool in the mornings, so walking is enjoyable. Molly and Caleb get a free ride in the stroller, while Potter and I push along and look at all the leaves changing color already.

Molly had her first day of her new gymnastics class and did very well. This is a preschool class where the parent does not go into the gym with them. I think Molly is probably the youngest, taking cues from the older kids who have done this before. For the most part, she followed directions and did what she was supposed to. As an hour long class, that is 15 minutes more than the Mommy and Me class was last year, so a long time for her attention span. She has a friend in the class with her, that helping her to focus too.

I guess I should include something about Caleb. Starting yesterday, he has begun to wave when you say 'bye-bye'. This is a big deal; we've been working on it for a while. What a big guy he is!
