1st Grade!!

Ok, so I’ve been really slack on blogging and haven’t posted anything since we got back from Nashville almost 2 months ago!  Sorry, it has been a really busy summer and I didn’t really get any pictures.  Peyton has been to a couple of different day camps this year so that his schedule kept him busy almost every other week. 

A week after we came home from Nashville Peyton went to AquaFit camp for a week.  AquaFit is a new center in town that has a large indoor pool, gym area, physical therapy unit, etc.  Peyton took swimming lessons here last summer so we thought we’d try the camp this year.  It was soooo nice.  Each day they got to do something new, for example, one day he did karate, another day was paper mache projects, another was yoga, etc.  They did also get to swim for a couple of hours every day which I think was his favorite part.  He absolutely LOVED this camp and we will definitely be signing him up again next year. 

In early August, Peyton went to day camp at the park just up the street from our house.  This was a really nice camp too where he got to play outside all day the entire week.  They played baseball, dodge ball, etc. and would play board games under the pavilion where it was shaded in the afternoon when the sun was too hot.  This week, however, also had a day or two where the temperature reached almost 100 degrees!  It’s been a little crazy here this summer in that we’ve had a LOT of days like this.  I was a little worried about him being outside in that kind of heat all day, but the camp had everything under control and organized a field trip to the brand new community center pool for the kids!

Now on to 1st grade!!!  Peyton started school on Monday and although he was not exhausted Monday night like I expected he did tell me that 1st grade is fun.  YAY!!!  I hope he keeps this attitude!

Here he is all ready for school -

Of course Jaxson was very excited to be able to play outside so early Monday morning while we waited for Peyton’s bus and he thought he needed to help with Peyton’s backpack, which of course, is on wheels because that’s what all the older kids at school have….

Finally the bus arrives……..BYE Peyton!  Have a great first day!!

Jaxson stood and waved to the bus until it turned the corner and he couldn’t see it anymore.  I thought for a moment that he was going to cry, but it only took him about 30 seconds to realize that he was “King of the House” again and didn’t have to share any toys while Peyton was in school!!

I’ll leave you with a picture of my two favorite boys from that morning:
