We've been making a lot of transitions around here lately. E-Ray transitioned to kindergarten and is still getting used to going to school every day, as well as the idea of homework. He's not a fan of either. He is also transitioning into quite the little reader. He brought home a packet of nursery rhymes and read two of them to me. I was so overwhelmed with pride that I teared up. His first progress report was good. The only area he needs to work on is his handwriting, which surprised me because his handwriting is better than any other five year-olds I know, and it should be considering we worked on it all summer. Football season is wrapping up for him. He only has one game left. They have a bye this week, so Monday night instead of practice they had a kids vs. parents scrimmage. It was so cute! We've really enjoyed being a part of this team. His coaches are great and it's been fun to see the boys grow in so many different ways. I already can't wait for next season!
Lulu has been making a lot of transitions of her own! She turned two at the beginning of the month. My parents and brother were in town for her birthday, so it was extra special. At her 2 year check up she weighed 25 lbs and was 34.5 inches tall. Her vocabulary is amazing. It's so nice that we're finally at the point where she can ask for help and tell us what she wants or what is bothering her. Two days ago we made the transition from crib to toddler bed. She always fights nap time and bed time, so I was really concerned about her staying in her bed, but she had started climbing out of her crib, and I obviously don't want her to get hurt, so it was time to convert the bed. The first day she went without a nap and it took about an hour to get her to stay in her bed that night. Then, she was up at 2:00am so I brought her into bed with me. Yesterday I sat next to her until she fell asleep for her nap. Last night I put her to bed, then she got up and came out of her room about one minute later. I sternly told her to go back to bed and she yelled, "No! No night night!" I gave her a minute and told her again to go to bed, to which she responded, "Ok Momma. Night Night!" She went in her room, shut the door, and that was that. I didn't see her again until 8:30 this morning. So, the transition is going better than I thought it would!

They're getting so big, so grown up! It's a little sad watching them grow from a distance but such are the lives we live. I wish Bear had the vocabulary Lulu does, we're still trying to get her into speech. I'm so excited that E-Ray is going to be able to "help" B with her writing. The new curriculum I've started her on is already making a difference, I hope you're able to see it too in the next letter.
