Take five!

When it comes to raising young men, this mom is getting more "with the program" all the time. :)  I got a tip that—especially for boys—having a brief interlude between school subjects can be quite beneficial, particularly as it relates to attention span.  So today's activity, between math and reading, was shooting hoops in the basement ala Nerf!

First Day of School

Today was Brandon's first day of 1st Grade!

 Although it is quite a transition from almost zero structure during the summer months behind us, he was eager to begin after he realized:
     1) what a big 1st Grader he would be, and
     2) that he got new LEGO pencils for the first day of school

Hooray! :)
