Hurrah! The kids are off to a new school year. Well, except for Brendan, who gets to ease his way into the water with a one hour session tomorrow and a half day on Friday before jumping in to the deep end next week.
Alex had a good day. He met a friend! A guy friend, no less. And he just happens to be seated in the same group as his friend Gabby, from last year. He really likes his teacher, too. Yey!
Kaitlyn came home just FLYING! She only stayed long enough to get half of her allowance out of me before taking off again for another three hours. I mentioned, when she got home, that from now on, she needs to plan to be home for dinner. She said, "Well, I didn't have a watch." Then find a clock, girlie! But she's happy, happy, happy to be back with her friends.
I played a long game of chess this evening with Alex. I couldn't believe he beat me! I was sure I had him down for the count. He had only his king and a pawn left, and I had something like eight pieces on the board. But one by one, he took me out ... And I tried to win, HARD! It's rather humiliating being creamed at chess by your ten-year-old son! He was so proud though. We have some of our best times together over the chess board, and both of us really get into it. And when he won, he hopped around the house like Tigger. "I won! I won! I won!" I like playing games with him because he's not easy to beat!
