We've had such a busy month already. I think we've finally settled in to our new routine with Ben's preschool. We have his first Fall Carnival coming up this Saturday and we are very excited! I ordered a cute costume for Ben and I'm anxiously awaiting its arrival in the mail. Ben is still doing very well at school. He has earned a stamp for good behavior every day of the year so far. We are so proud! He is learning so much. They study one letter and one number each week and do tons of activities to reinforce the learning. Most of the learning is through play, although we do have homework every night. Can you believe homework in preschool! Ha! The curriculum at public schools is definitely more rigorous than when we went to school. These babies are learning what we used to learn in kindergarten and they are soaking it up! I firmly believe that the students who begin school in kindergarten without any preschool are the ones who spend the rest of their lives playing catch up. Preschool is so important!
Jeremy has started conditioning with the baseball team and I started a running club at work! We worked it out where my running club meets Mondays/Wednesdays/Fridays, and Jeremy's team conditions Mondays/Tuesdays/Thursdays. The only day that overlaps is Monday, but it works out because Jeremy picks Ben up from school and has him help with conditioning. Ben calls himself the "little coach" and Jeremy gives him a whistle! It is so precious to pick Ben up at the track and see him helping Daddy coach.
Here are some random pictures I've snapped the past few weeks. Enjoy!
