Middle School Prep!

• Got the supplies.  Around $120 including tissues and baby wipes.

• Got the locker setup. Learned the combo.

• Got the class schedule.  Did a walk through.

• Got the ridiculous amount of binders ready.

• Now we just need a haircut and a good face wash and we he's off to a new normal tomorrow

I love that Connor is resilient and always ready to move on to the next thing. He squeezes the most of of today and then he's done with it.  That is a great way to be and its something you either have in life or don't.

He didn't go to orientation because we were out of town.  He didn't go to summer's "Bridge To The Ridge" program.   He learned his locker number and combo in 5 minutes.    He ran around showing all the other kids how to open theirs as if he were a teacher.  When he found out his math class was in the 7th grade house, he said "Oh, good.  Some 7th grader might try to beat me up and get the shock of his life." He has virtually no anxiety about it that I can detect.   Maybe he'll freak out in the morning...but I suspect not. 

Lions Football

Connor is playing on a new football team in a new league this year.  We made the change so that  he would be less encumbered by weight restrictions and be able to play a skill position.  But...its not worked out that way.  Though the rules are different here and we thought he'd be fine, he's grown over the summer and he's even exceeding the weight rules in this league.  It remains to be seen how this all will work out, but for now he got to play in a forfeited game yesterday and he scored a touchdown.
