Grif-big boy

My Griffin isn't such a little kid anymore. Truth be told he is getting a tad chunky. (Grandma reminds me that they all go thru this) Soccer signups are in the next few weeks. We will definately be doing that again. We we be walking to school for now. Unless it is raining and when fall comes, we will walk home too. It is just a mile. Surely we will all benifit from that. He is in a size 10! He was just in a 6 last year. Goodness what a growth spurt.

He struggled a bit in first grade when we got down here. I was very torn at the end of the school year wether to hold him back or not. I talked to a lot of people, looked thru the 2nd grade work books and decided to let him try 2nd. His size was one of the factors that I used when deciding. Ri is one of the largest in his class and everyone expects more from him. I didn't want the same to happen to Grif. Plus they say 2nd is basically a review of first. Time will tell. Not sure if I did the right thing. Kids need instruction manuals. You would think after having 2 already past this stage I would know the right answer but each kid is SO different.

His favorite things to do are play in the pool, go to Grandma Diane's/Papa Bob's, play daddy's PSP, watch AFV, color, go to beach, play playdoh, wrestle with daddy and play online. Speaking on online, Grif was the last person to use the kids computer when either the mother board or the hard drive died. I don't think he could have done anything to it, but he misses playing the Nick games on line. The older boys are using the lap top til I can scrimp/save on enough money to get a new kids computer. (the house sale is in escrow, holding our breath ) The computer is going on 8 years, not even gonna try and fix it.

We saw his class on Friday. At least he is not anxious this year. He knows the school. Knows a few people. This makes things much easier on me. Hopefully I can enforse early bedtime this week. Mornings will come EARLY. (Grif goes 8-2, Cam 7:30-2:30, Ri 9-4)
