Connor 2nd grade

soccer

Grandpa built Connor an art easel.  He's our budding artist, always drawing.  Connor's last soccer game was on October 19 and that was also our first Cub Scout's meeting.

Kaiden and I went for a 3 hour hike around Bowl and Pitcher in Riverside State Park

brothers

All summer long I had Connor complete a math page and read either sight words or a short book to help him improve.  He loves math and whizzes through the problems.  He hates reading though and it's a struggle to get him to actually do it.  It really helped to make him read this summer though.  Even though he hates to read he's actually getting pretty good at it.  Kaiden loves to do anything his big brother does.  These boys totally adore each other.  Except when Connor decides to hug and love on his brother too much, then Kaiden pushes him away.  Below is Kaiden reading to Connor and playing the keyboard.

Kaiden time

Now that Connor is at school, Kaiden and I get to spend some time just the two of us.  Which means I get a little board while he's napping.  I recently picked up some wood for our camp fires and decided to make 4 little snowmen to go by the front door this winter.  Each snowman is suppose to represent our family, starting from the left it's: Jason, me, Connor and Kaiden.  After nap time we worked on coloring and using scissors.  We're working on colors.  I love the way he says yellow "Yelalalalalalow"  and blue "bew"
