Memorable Monday
Journal Entry Aug. 13, 2004

School started yesterday.  Josh and Dani were excited about going.  They were really excited about lunch.  Josh has a real nice teacher, Mrs. Michaels.  There are a lot of kids in his class that he knows from last year.  Dani likes her teacher.  She is new to Porter.  Dani was very nervous until she met her teacher and knows where she is going to sit.  She is realizing first grade is different than kindergarten.  First grade will be hard work.  Dani knows some kids in her class also.  I asked the kids who they played with at recess.  They played with each other.  They have recess at the same time.  It was neat to hear that they chose to play with each other instead of their school friends.  

Angela woke up sick and wasn't able to go to school on her first day.  She will go to school on Monday.  She will have the same preschool teacher and same program, so I don't think she missed too much.  I just hope that she gets on the bus without too much fuss.  After a break, it takes Angela awhile to get on the bus.

Dani and Angela will start dance lessons next week.  Dani took the same class last year with some of her friends.  Her friends are in the same class this year.  Angela is taking dance for the first time.  Her doctor feels that this would be good for her.  It could be her physical therapy.  I know her dance teacher and have talked with her about Angela.  We think she will do well in the class.  She wanted to stay and dance when Dani went to class.  

Josh decided that he didn't want to play soccer or softball anymore.  That's OK.  Josh will start Cub Scouts next month.  That will keep him busy. 

Tomorrow, our ward is having a Primary Activity Day.  The theme is water Olympics.  We are going to the park and playing water games.  Lucky for us, it will be a cooler day.  The Olympics start tomorrow also, so the kids are very excited.  The ward was re-aligned on Sunday, so we have some new kids in the primary.  There are two more boys that are Josh's age.  I'm so excited.  Josh needs more boys in his class.

Everything is going well.  The kids will be busy and that keeps me busy.  We love you all and will write again soon.
