DB came home with his very first spelling list today. These are the words:
mat, man, down, up, can hat, cat, ran.
These are all very easy for him except for down, which causes him some trouble, but just getting the list made me so excited for what awaits us in first grade. I have been amazed already at how much he has retained over the summer, and even improved upon without any practicing at home. Kids are amazing that way, aren't they? Anyway, he asks me every day when he can be done with 1st grade so that he can go on vacation again. We have a ways to go to get back into the swing of things with homework and the rigorous schedule of school, especially since the homework is already much harder than Kindergarten homework was. He had reading words, spelling words AND sentences to read today for homework! To him, that is just an OBSCENE amount of work. I think I didn't work him hard enough over the summer, you think?
Also, his two front bottom teeth are teetering on the verge of coming out. Aahh, one of the rites of passage in childhood. Any day now. It is about time, as one of those teeth has been looth since our visit to Utah where Grandpa Shoff was the one who discovered that it was looth in the first place! The problem with this is that it just makes him want a vacation to Utah more to visit his Grandpa Shoff, as he is the only one qualified to pull out teeth.
My baby has grown up so much just in these first 4 days of first grade.

You're going to try to stop complaining about your belly? Why...am I way huger than you? See, now I wish I had taken pictures of when I was pregnant with Marshae (even though I hate them) just so I can see the difference. Don't worry, someone I just talked to today said their sister went to 41 weeks with twins!!! Oh my gosh, someone shoot me now, lol!
First grade. That is so crazy! I wish him luck with all those spelling words. I am so overwhelmed/excited about having a girl. I was thinking the other day that I don't even know how to change a little girls diaper. It's going to be so different, but at least I won't get sprayed with pee in the face, haha!!! My mom and mother in law have already been having fun buying girl stuff (which I am so grateful for). When are you due???
First grade is so fun, it's a totally different world than Kindergarten. My Carter is starting First grade in 2 weeks and I'm excited for him! I'm totally going to miss him being home part of the day, He's such a good helper.
I hope your feeling great!!!
