The First Week of Second Grade

This has been a busy week! Alex started second grade, had his first soccer practice, and went to a Back to School roller skating party. 

Second grade is going great so far. He's liking his class and has both new and old friends with him. Second graders can check out two books at a time from the school library, and his class also has a library where he can check out books. He has been taking full advantage of both.

We are trying his first organzied team sport with AYSO soccer this year. Unfortunately, the kick off celebration was cancelled because of rain, but he had fun at the first practice. Hopefully, the weather will cooperate this weekend, and he'll have his first game.

He had so much fun at the roller skating party. He was one of the last people to leave the floor. It was 80s themed, so I put him in a couple of pastel shirts and popped his collars. I had fun too, but quickly discovered that skating is not for me any more. One time around the rink, one big fall, and I was done. It was so much easier in my memories of roller skating as a kid.
